The way to figure this out is to convert the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction being subtracted. Let's do this one. 1 - (5/12) = (12/12) - (5/12) = At this point, you have 12 over 12 minus 5 over 12, and to work a fraction like that where you have a common denominator, you can take the numerators and subtract them and put the result over 12. It will look like this: (12 - 5) / 12 = 7/12 That 7/12 is your answer. You don't even have to reduce it.
You cannot. By definition, a proper fraction is a number whose absolute value is between 0 and 1. There are no whole numbers between 0 and 1 so the number cannot be changed into a whole number. Also, since the absolute value is less than 1, it cannot be expressed as a mixed number.
A number can be called either a mixed number or a mixed fraction when it is a whole number with a fraction.
Any whole number can be converted to a fraction by putting it over 1.
4.25 isn't a whole number. You can change any whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1.
a fraction of a number
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Convert the whole number to a fraction with a common denominator. Proceed with the subtraction.
A fraction can have non-zero whole number value when the improper fraction is such that the numerator is an exact (whole number) multiple (which is not zero) of the denominator will the fraction have a whole number value. for example 10/5 = (5×2)/(5×1) = 2/1 = 2 ÷ 1 = 2.
a fraction where the numerator and the denominator are of the same value
fraction
A term for a number that has no decimal or fraction is called a whole number.
A fraction is generally not a whole number, so you can't "make it into a whole" - any whole number would not have the same value. You can round a fraction to the nearest integer, if you like - but note that you would lose some precision if you do so.
It would be a mixed fraction, or simply a fraction.
There is no intrinsic fraction for MM. If something is measured as a whole number of MM then it is an integer value, not a fraction.
You can convert a whole number to an equivalent fraction by multiplying it by the denominator of the fraction you're subtracting 5 - 3/8 = 40/8 - 3/8 = 37/8 = 4 and 5/8
There is no such number. Any whole number can be turned into a fraction simply by writing it over 1. Or, writing twice its value over 2; or three times its value over 3.
2 - 1/5 is the same as (10/5) - 1/5 so it is 9/5 or 1 and 4/5 (1.8 as a decimal)
The answer can be another fraction and a whole number or it can be a whole number.
