Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-ast-global-color-6-color\">The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 1: Expressing 23 as an Improper Fraction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To express the whole number 23 as an improper fraction, we simply place it over 1. This is because any whole number can be written as a fraction with a denominator of 1. Thus, 23 as an improper fraction is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>23 = \\frac{23}{1}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fraction represents the whole number 23 divided by 1, which simplifies back to 23. There\u2019s no further simplification needed because the fraction is already in its simplest form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 2: Multiplying 23 by 5 and Expressing as a Fraction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we are asked to multiply 23 by 5 and give the answer as a fraction in its simplest form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Write both numbers as fractions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>23 as a fraction is (\\frac{23}{1}),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 as a fraction is (\\frac{5}{1}).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we multiply these two fractions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\frac{23}{1} \\times \\frac{5}{1} = \\frac{23 \\times 5}{1 \\times 1} = \\frac{115}{1}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Simplification:<br>The fraction (\\frac{115}{1}) is already in its simplest form because the denominator is 1, and there is no need for further simplification. So the final result is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\frac{115}{1} = 115<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Improper Fraction:<\/strong> An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (bottom number). When we express 23 as (\\frac{23}{1}), it\u2019s technically an improper fraction because the numerator (23) is greater than the denominator (1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiplication of Fractions:<\/strong> When multiplying fractions, the rule is to multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. For this problem, multiplying (\\frac{23}{1}) by (\\frac{5}{1}) gives a new fraction (\\frac{115}{1}).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simplest Form:<\/strong> After performing the multiplication, the result (\\frac{115}{1}) is already simplified because it cannot be reduced further.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, (23 \\times 5 = \\frac{115}{1}), and the answer is 115.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Write 23 as an improper fraction in its simplest form.Work out 23 x 5.
