Question

Draw a diagram for the following improper fraction:

$\frac{11}{7}$

Accepted Answer

Given,

$\frac{11}{7}$

We need to draw a diagram for the given improper fraction.

A fraction in which the numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator is called an improper fraction.

Example: Imagine you order a pizza which has $7$ slices. Your friends eat all the $7$ slices and you realize you didn’t get any. You order another pizza, after eating $4$ slice from it you realize you are done eating. So, how much of the pizza did your friends, and you have in all?

Your friends first had all the seven slices of $1$ pizza, and then you had $4$ slice out of the size from the second pizza. So, the total pizza eaten is $\frac{11}{7}$ slices of pizza and that’s an improper fraction with a numerator greater than the denominator.

$\frac{11}{7} \to$ Improper fraction of eleven-seventh.

Hence, the required answer is shown above.
