What does it mean to divide a fraction by a whole number?
It means how many times you can subtract the whole number from the fraction before you reach zero. Assuming you've not got a mixed fraction, the whole number will only be able to be subtracted a fractional number of times.
What is a fraction in which the numerator is larger than the denominator?
Its an improper fraction...which looks like this: 3/2 or 8/3 or 5/2 and many many more :) The way you turn an improper fraction into a mixed fraction (mixed number) is by seeing how many times the denominator goes into the nuerator the number you get is your whole then the remainder is your numerator and the denominator from the improper fraction will be the same denominator in your mixed fraction(mixed number is the same thing as mixed fraction) EXAMPLE: 3/2 2 goes into 2 once so thats my whole: 1 then 1 is left over because 2x1=2 so thats my new numerator then the denominator stays the same so your mixed fraction(mixed number) is 1 1/2
How many times can you divide a parallelogram?
As many times as you want.
How many different ways can you rename a whole number as a fraction?
mixed number
How to change an improper fraction to a mixed number FRACTION?
Say you have 16/5 you would see how many times the 5 goes into 16,and that's 3..So that's your whole number.How many is left over???One.So that is your numerator and you keep the 5 which is the denominator,the same. -Janelle D.
How do you change improper fraction to mixed fraction?
You have to divide-for example: 17/8 how many times can 8 go into 17? Answer: 2 remainder 1 =2 1/8 (mixed fraction)

How do you find how many fifths are there in a mixed fraction?
Multiply the mixed fraction by 5.
How many times can three go into 100?
To get the answer you make it into a fraction (100/3) and divide. Your answer comes out to be 33.33.
How do you convert a fraction into a mixed number?
To change a fraction into a mixed number, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number) to get the whole number. The remainder is the new numerator and gets written over the same denominator. Your welcome! and for imformation go to www.confused.com xxx LOL by Anymonus

How do you take a fraction and make it a whole number or a mixed number?
to make a fraction a mixed number..... you see how many times the denominator goes into thew numerator. after you do that you put what's left over than that becomes your new numerator,(the mixed number is going to have the same denominator as the fraction).so for example.......12 5------- = 1 -----
How do you write 135 percent as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form?
135% is equal to 1.35 or 135/100.In order to simplify this fraction we must find the largest whole number that will divide in to both 135 and 100. (We do not necessarily have to do this in 1 step).We should be able to immediately see that both numbers will divide by 5. So if we divide top and bottom by 5 we get:27/20.Now we ask is there another whole number that will divide in to both 27 and 20 (giving a whole number as a result)? The answer is no. Therefore we have simplified this fraction as far as we can.So 135% as a fraction is 27/20.This is known as an improper or top heavy fraction. If we want to write this as a mixed number we ask, how many whole times will 20 go in to 27. The answer is once with 7 remaining. This is therefore written as 1 7/20.
15 years into a mixed fraction?
mixed fraction is a whole number and a fraction combined. 15 years is 15x12 months or 180 months so we have 15 yrs= 180/12 but 180 divided by 12 can be reduced and made into a mixed fraction. 180/ 12 can be written in many ways as a mixed fraction. 14 and 12/12
What does it mean to divide a fraction by a fraction?
It means to find out how many of the second fraction can be subtracted from the first before a result of zero is found. eg 1/2 ÷ 1/3 means how many times can you subtract 1/3 from 1/2 before you get to zero.
How do you turn an improper fraction into whole numbers?
7/4 is an improper fraction. The lesser denominator (4) is below the greater numerator (7). Divide the numerator by the denominator to see how many times 4 goes into 7. 7 ÷ 4 = 1 remainder 3 The resulting mixed number is 1 3/4 (one and three over four).
How many times can you divide a parallelogram?
As many times as you want.
