Question

What is `7/4` as a mixed number?

Answer 1

`1 3/4`

Explanation:

Ask yourself these questions:

• How many 4's go into 7? That's the whole number in your solution.
  The answer to that is 1, because `4\times2=8` and `8\gt7`
• When divided, how much is remaining? That's the numerator in your solution.
  The answer to this is 3, because `7-4=3`; your fraction is `3/4`

Combine the answers to those questions:
`1`, and `3/4`;
`\rArr1 3/4`
