If 8 4/15 is represented as a fraction, what is the value?

0.724
114/175
3/77
9 11/21

The correct answer is: 3/77

To convert the mixed number 8 4/15 into an improper fraction, you start by converting the whole number part to a fraction and then adding it to the fractional part. First, multiply the whole number (8) by the denominator of the fractional part (15), which gives you 120. Then, add the numerator of the fractional part (4) to this product: 120 + 4 = 124. Now, place this sum over the original denominator (15) to get the improper fraction: 124/15. Thus, the value of 8 4/15 as a fraction is 124/15, which is not one of the answers provided. The options provided do not match this. The correct approach shows how the improper fraction was formed. However, it seems there was a misinterpretation of your selected answer, which does not accurately represent the conversion of the mixed number to a fraction. The focus should be on proper conversion processes rather than analyzing incorrect options directly.
