28 __ 4 rename as a mixed number or a whole number
Yes, you can but you need to "rename" the whole part of the first mixed number.
Whole numbers are a proper subset of decimal numbers. All whole numbers are decimal numbers but not all decimal numbers are whole numbers.
A decimal is one way of representing numbers which may be whole or fractions. So, a mixed number which by definition is a number, can be expressed as a decimal. That explains it all!
The difference is that all whole numbers are decimal numbers, but not all decimal numbers are whole numbers. For example a whole number such as 1 is a decimal number but a decimal number such as 1.5 is not a whole number.
