An easy trick I learned was, " How many times can 6 (the bottom number/denominator) go into 47 (the top number)?
6 times what id 47?
Nothing so we have to try again.
6 x 8= 48 too high
6 x 7= 42 good
Now 47 - 42 is 5.
So the answer is 7 5/6 because 6 can go into 47 7 times without going over.
Hope this helped!
