Answer:
[tex] \frac{17}{6} = 2 \frac{5}{6} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \frac{17}{6} = \frac{12 + 5}{6} = \frac{12}{6} + \frac{5}{6} = 2 + \frac{5}{6} = 2 \frac{5}{6} [/tex]

PRELIMINARY
Fractions are part of a whole. For example, if an object is divided into two equal parts, the value of each part is half or one-half of the total number of objects. Fractions can be expressed in the form: a/b
- a is the numerator
- b is the denominator
DISCUSSION
Fractions also have fractions in different forms but have the same value which are called equivalent fractions. Fractions can also be simplified. To find a fraction equal to a fraction, we can multiply (×) or divide (÷) the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same number. And to simplify fractions, we can divide (÷) the numerator and denominator of the fraction with the same number.
**
There are various forms of fractions, including:
- Common Fractions are fractions that consist of a numerator and denominator.
- Mixed fractions are fractions that consist of whole numbers and fractions. If the numerator of a fraction is greater than the denominator, the fraction can be converted into a mixed number. To get the mixed number form of a common fraction, divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator.
- A decimal fraction is a fraction of tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on written using a comma (,).
- Percents are another form of fraction with a denominator of one hundred. Percent is written with the symbol %.
**
Now from the discussion above, it turns out that ordinary fractions still have two more types, namely =
➳ A pure fraction is a fraction whose numerator is smaller than the denominator.
➳ An impure fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than its denominator.
**
The arithmetic operations also apply to fractions, including:
- Addition (+)
- Subtraction (-)
- Multiplication (×)
- Division (÷)
