A whole number could be converted to a mixed number, but that might only be useful when subtracting a mixed number from a whole number. To change a whole number to a mixed number, simply take one away from the whole number and then change the 1 to a fraction that is equivalent to 1 (numerator and denominator are the same). For example 5 - 2 1/4. To subtract, you might want to change the 5 to 4 4/4. Then, you can subtract 1/4 from 4/4 to get 3/4 and 2 from 4 to get 2. The answer is 2 3/4.
5 out of 6 is not a whole number and so is not equivalent to one.
