Result:

3 2/3 = 11/3 = 3 2/3 ≅ 3.6666667

Spelled result in words is three and two thirds (or eleven thirds).

Calculation steps

  1. Conversion a mixed number 3 2/3 to a improper fraction: 3 2/3 = 3 2/3 = 3 · 3 + 2/3 = 9 + 2/3 = 11/3

    To find new numerator:
    a) Multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator 3. Whole number 3 equally 3 * 3/3 = 9/3
    b) Add the answer from previous step 9 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 9 + 2 = 11
    c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 11) over the denominator 3.

    Three and two thirds is eleven thirds
