How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?

Answer 1

Well, honey, converting an improper fraction to a mixed number is as easy as pie. You just divide the numerator by the denominator. The whole number part is the result of the division, and the remainder becomes the new numerator while the denominator stays the same. Voila, you've got yourself a mixed number!

Answer 2

Treat like a division problem. The quotient will be the whole number part of the mixed number. The remainder will be the numerator of the fractional part, the denominator is the divisor (the number that you're dividing by).

example:

13

-----

4

divide 13 ÷ 4 which is 3... with 1 left over (remainder). so your answer would be:

3 ¼ (three and one fourth.)

because you divide by the original denominator [4].

Answer 3

22/7 = 3 and 1/7

Answer 4
