Step-by-Step Solution

, so the point lies two-thirds of the way from 2 to 3 — much closer to 3 than to 2. Reading only the whole-number part of the mixed number and answering 2 is the trap.
Answer: B) 3

Key idea: Mixed numbers and improper fractions

An improper fraction like 11/4 can be rewritten as a mixed number. Divide 11 by 4: 11 ÷ 4 = 2 remainder 3. So 11/4 = 2 + 3/4 = 2 3/4. Going the other way: 2 . Both forms name the same number — you choose the one that's easier for the situation. For arithmetic, improper fractions are usually friendlier; for everyday speech, mixed numbers are.
