Question #11669

Answer 1

See an explanation below

Explanation:

Follow these steps:

1. Divide as you would.

2. Write down the whole number answer.

3. Take the remainder and make it the numerator while the denominator is the number you divided by.

Example:

Convert `17/3` into a mixed number:

Following the steps above, we first divide which gives us an answer of `5` with a remainder of `2`.

We write our whole number down and then we take the remainder and write it as the numerator. The denominator is the number by which we divided by which is `3`.

The mixed number is thus:

`5 2/3`
