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

How do you convert a mixed fraction into a decimal number?
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.
