Math Question: WRITE THE RATIONAL NUMBER 2 7/8 IN THE FORM A/B, WHERE A AND B ARE INTEGERS

2 7/8 is a mixed number. Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 8 and add that to the numerator 7. That gives 2x8+7=23. That is your numerator A and 8 is your denominator B, so your answer is 23/8

Hi Kimora, This problem is asking you to convert 2 7/8 to an improper fraction by using your understanding of how to add fractional components. First, we can write 2 as a number of eighths by multiplying 2 x 8 to get 16/8. Now that the denominators are the same, we can add 16/8 to the 7/8 we already have to get 23/8. In this scenario, A = 23, B =8, both of which are integers. Hope this helps, and reach out with any future questions! - Grace
