Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add the numerator, and place the sum over the original denominator. For option D, the improper fraction is (11 x 12 + 6)/11 = 138/11. The mixed number can be written as follows:

8 5/6

To convert it to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and then add the numerator.

8 × 6 + 5 = 53

So the improper fraction is:

53/6

Therefore, the correct choice is D.
