Question. 103
Grip size of a tennis racquet is \(11\dfrac{9}{80}\,\text{cm}\). Express this size as an improper fraction.
Answer:
\(\dfrac{889}{80}\,\text{cm}\)
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
We have a mixed number: \(11\dfrac{9}{80}\,\text{cm}\).
- Keep the denominator the same: \(80\).
- Multiply the whole number by the denominator:
\(11 \times 80 = 880\). - Add the numerator to this result:
\(880 + 9 = 889\). - Write this sum over the original denominator:
\(\dfrac{889}{80}\). - Add the unit: \(\dfrac{889}{80}\,\text{cm}\).
So, \(11\dfrac{9}{80}\,\text{cm} = \dfrac{889}{80}\,\text{cm}\).
