yes you can, The fraction 131/4 is an improper fraction(the numerator is greater than the denominator). While there is nothing incorrect about this, an improper fraction is typically simplified further into a mixed number.

The whole number part of the mixed number is found by dividing the 131 by the 24. In this case we get 5. The fractional part of the mixed number is found by using the remainder of the division,

which in this case is 11 (131 divided by 24 is 5 remainder 11).

So the final answer is 5 11/24
