How do you write a fraction as a mixed number?

Question

Please give examples with numbers.

Answer 1

7/4 = 1 3/4

10/3 = 3 1/3

Answer 2

The fraction has to be an improper fraction like- 10/ 5 (where the numerator is larger than the denominator). You then divide 5 and 10, which is 2! So the mixed number would be 2.

Another example is 20/3. The closest number you can divide 3 to get 20 is 6, which equals 18. Then you subtract 20 with 18, with is 2. So the answer would be 6 (whole number) 2/3, you keep the dominator of the first problem (which was 20/3). It would be easier on paper (well for me). Hope I helped!

Answer 3

OK...to get a mixed number which is a whole number with a fraction, you need an improper fraction to start. An improper fraction is one where the numerator is bigger than the demoninator.

To do this just take the numerator and divide it by the denominator. Take the whole number part and use it as a whole number for your new answer and take the remainder and use it as the numerator over the old denominator in the fraction part of the new answer.

For example,

27/5 = 5 with remainder of two... so 5 2/5 is your mixed fraction answer.

Answer 4

Okay, for this to occur, the fraction needs to be top heavy. (Meaning that the numerator, or top number is larger than or equal to the bottom number or denominator.)

So let's say I had 7/2.

You would divide 2 into 7.

You get 3.

There is one left over so it would be 3 1/2.

You keep the original denominator and take the leftover number and make it the numerator, and the whole is the number that you get when you divide the numerator by the denominator.

So 5/3 = 1 2/3.

If you have a number where the numerator and the denominator are both the same, it always equals one.

Answer 5

Divide the bottom number (denominator) into the upper number (numerator)

14/5 14 divided by 5 = 2 (with a remainder of 4 which is written over the 5) or 2 4/5 (mixed number)

Answer 6

45/4= 11 1/4 how?==to put the mixed number back to an improper fraction multiply the whole number x denominator and add the numerator and place the answer over the denominator thus 11 1/4 =11x4 +1=45 /4

Answer 7

Mixed numbers are the proper expression of improper fractions, such as 1 2/3 is the same as 5/3 or 3 1/2 is the same as 7/2.

Answer 8

11/2 changes to 5 1/2 to get it divide 11 by 2. It goes into 11, 5 times, and 1 left over. Put 1 as the numerator and 2 as the denominator.

15/4 4 divides into 15 , 3 times, with a remainder of 3. Use 2 as the numerator and 4 as denominator. answer: 3 3/4

9/4 4 divides into 9, 2 times with a remainder of 1. answer is 2 1/4

Answer 9

an example would be 7/2 can be written as 3 1/2
the principle behind this is multiple the whole number (3) and the denominator (2) which equals 6 and add numerator which equals 7 (3x2+1=7) and the resulting fraction is 7/2

Answer 10

say you have 2 3/4 you multiply the 3 times the 2 and you get 6 then you add the 4 and get 10, once you get 10 you take off the 2 and the 3 and put 10 on top of 4. so the mixed number is 10/4

Answer 11

I just learned this in math,

Say you're going to put 2/4 in a mixed number, just divide 4 by 2, than the answer will be 2.

The answer goes on the top, the 4 goes on the bottom and the other two goes on the side.
