Only improper fractions can be turned into mixed numbers. To do so, whatever the denominator is, take as many of that value out of the numerator and move it to the front.
Ex: 58/7 . 7 goes into 58 eight times, so take out eight 7's from the numerator. 58-56 = 2, so the new numerator is 2. A good way to think of it is:
58/7 = 56/7 + 2/7
56/7 is 8, so your final answer would be 8 2/7

Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction, multiply by the whole number, convert the answer back to a mixed fraction (if required).
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed.
Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction then divide the fraction and improper fraction as normal (invert the divisor and multiply) and simplify the result (including converting any improper fraction into a mixed number)
Express the mixed fraction as an improper fraction and then proceed as you would with ordinary fractions. If the answer is an improper fraction, then remember to convert to a mixed fraction.
To convert a mixed number into a decimal, first you must convert the fraction part of the mixed number into decimal form. Do this by dividing the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number). Then, place the whole number that was originally part of the mixed number as the whole number for the decimal. For example, let's convert this mixed number into a decimal: 51/4. 1/4 = 0.25 The whole number originally part of the mixed number, 51/4 is 5. Place 5 as the whole number for the decimal. Therefore, the answer is 5.25.
