Write each rational number in the form a/b where a and b are integers. 1. 5 1/6 2.-12

1) 31/6

2) -12/1

Now, let's answer the question.

To convert mixed fractions to improper fractions in the form of a/b, we multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add it to the numerator to get a new numerator while the denominator will remain the same.

Thus;

5 1/6 = ((5 × 6) + 1)/6 = 31/6

This is already an integer but since we want to express it in the form of a/b, then we know any number we divide by 1 doesn't change. Thus;

-12 = -12/1
