Hi Negra.

Each of the choices is an integer plus a fraction. Express each of the fractions in lowest terms to see if one of them is equivalent to six and one half.

Hi Negra.

To compare the quantities, it would help to convert them to improper
fractions with the same denominator.

For example, if I wanted to know whether 3 20/3 is the same as 8 5/9,
I would first convert these to improper fractions:

3 20/3 = 3 + 20/3 = 3x(3/3) + 20/3 = 9/3 + 20/3 = (9 + 20) / 3 = 29 / 3.

and

8 5/9 = 8 + 5/9 = 8(9/9) + 5/9 = 72/9 + 5/9 = (72 + 5) / 9 = 77 / 9.

Now I try to find a common denominator for 29 / 3 and 77 / 9. I think
9 works, so
(29 / 3) x (3 / 3) = (29 x 3) / (3 x 3) = 87 / 9.

So I have shown that 3 20/3 is the same as 87/9 and 8 5/9 is the same
as 77/9. So I know that 3 20/3 is larger than 8 5/9.

You can compare your mixed fractions the same way.
