if it were 5 and 1/2 you would multiply 5 by the denominator: 5x2 and add the numerator: 10+1. Then you would put that number over 2. so 11/2
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.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator. To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part.
Mixed fractions can't become whole numbers.
The majority of mixed numbers will convert to improper fractions. To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator.
keep the denominator multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator.
fractions are parts of a whole number
If a decimal could be converted to a whole number, we wouldn't need decimals for anything. Or fractions either. The fact is: NO decimal, and no ordinary fraction, can be converted to a whole number. That's why we need them.
A simple fraction is a fraction that is a whole number divided by a whole number. Complex fractions can have fractions inside of fractions.
Fractions are not whole numbers. They are fractions. You can call a fraction a whole number, but that doesn't make it one.
To convert the number 110 into a decimal, you simply write it as 110.0. This indicates that there are no fractions or parts of a whole number present, making it a whole number in decimal form. In this case, the decimal representation is the same as the original number, 110.
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part.
A nonzero whole number is a quantity which does not equal zero and number without fractions.
