Well..
You see how many times the Denominator (Bottom Number) goes into the Numerator (Top Number) And add on the remainder to the Numerator.
Lets say...
38 over 5 for example.
5 goes into 38 7 times (35) And has three left.
So the answer as a mixed fraction would be
7 3/5
Convert the mixed number into an improper (top-heavy) fraction first. Then swap the numerator and denominator.
As an example 2 3/5 X 7 First convert the mixed number to an improper fraqction Hence 2 3/5 = 13/5 Next we convert the '7' to an improper fraction by placing it over a trivial '1'. Hence '7' = '7/1'. Re-writing 13/5 x 7/1 We separate;y multiply the numerators together, and the denominators together. Hence 13/5 X 7/1 = 91/5 Finally we convert the improper fraction back to a mixed fraction by dividing by '5' , which will give an answer of '18' and a remainder of '1' Hence it is re-written as ' 18 1/5 '. The answer. NB Whenthe numbers become large , look to see if you can cancel down /reduce. So amending the above numbers slightly. 2 3/5 X 5 = > 13/5 X 5/1 In this case '5' is a common factor ; top & bottom'. so we cancel down by '5' Hence 13/1 X 1/1 proceeding as before. 13 / 1 = 13 The answer!!!!! These methods are good for any set of frqactional numbers.
No. A mixed number is one where there is a whole number and a fraction. If the whole number is 0 there is no whole number and all that remains is the fraction. All improper (top heavy) fractions can be converted to a mixed number.
Convert the mixed number to a fraction and invert numerator and denominator
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Convert the whole number to a fraction with a common denominator. Proceed with the subtraction.
If doing it without a calculator, then convert each mixed fraction into a top-heavy equivalent fraction and then multiply as for fractions.
6.04 in mixed numbers can be interpreted as 6 1/25th. it can also be a top heavy fraction as 151/25
convert it into a mixed number
851 is an integer - neither a proper fraction not a mixed number!
Nothing needs to be done. Some people find it easier to convert it to an improper or top-heavy fraction, but it is not a necessary step.
Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction and then multiply like you normally would. To convert a mixed number into a fraction, take the whole number, multiply it by the denominator and then add the numerator. This value is your new numerator.
