-- Some fractions are equal to mixed numbers (example 4/3). Some are not ( example 2/3). -- The fraction can be re-written as a whole number only if its numerator is a multiple of its denominator. -- If its numerator is greater than its denominator but not a multiple of it, then the fraction can be re-written as a mixed number. -- If neither condition is true, then the fraction can't be re-written as either a mixed number or a whole number.
