To convert a vulgar fraction into a mixed number, you need to subtract the denominator from the numerator a certain number of times such that the numerator is less than the denominator. In the case of 45/12, we can subtract 12 from 45 three times to leave us with 9/12. Both these numbers can be divided by 3, so we can simplify it to 3/4. We subtracted 12 three times so need to write that as the units. Thus, as a mixed number, 45/12 would be 3 and 3/4.

Three fifths (3/5) cannot be expressed as a mixed number, because 3/5 is in between 1 and -1. A mixed number has to be either greater than 1, or less than -1 to be expressed as a mixed number.
