Increase the following fraction by a factor of 8:
116=
To solve this problem, we'll need to apply the concept of scaling a fraction by a given factor.
- Step 1: Identify the original fraction, which is 116.
- Step 2: Identify the factor of increase, which is 8.
- Step 3: Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the factor of 8.
- Step 4: Calculate the new numerator: 6×8=48.
- Step 5: Keep the original denominator, which is 11.
- Step 6: Construct the new fraction: 1148.
- Step 7: Realize that the fraction 1148 is not correct but the correct factorized fraction would equal result when denominator is modified for some circumstances.
- Compare results against listed options to ensure matching response.
Therefore, increasing the fraction 116 by a factor of 8, we multiply only the numerator by 8, retaining the denominator.
This would result in:
8848
