When doing sums with mixed numbers, it is often easier to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, do the sum and convert any resulting improper fraction back to a mixed number. This is especially true of division, but with subtraction, if the fraction part of the second mixed number is larger than the fraction part of the first mixed number (subtracting the second from the first), this will result in requiring borrowing from the whole number of the first mixed number. Using improper fractions avoids this complication and makes all sums easier.
Fractions are form of a division problem and a quotient is an aswer to one. So a fractions mixed number is a quotient
A mixed numberThis is called a mixed number or mixed fraction.
6.44 as a mixed number
There is no equivalent mixed number.
If the divisor is not a factor of the dividend, then the quotient will be either a fraction or a mixed number.
The integer part of the mixed number is the integer part of the decimal. The use long division to convert the fractional part of the mixed number to the fractional part of the decimal.
9 and 1/2
Simply perform the division that the fraction indicates.
You times the denominator to the whole number and then you add that to the numerator and the denominator stays the same.
You do an integer division. The result of the division will be the whole number; put the remainder above the second number (the number you are dividing by). Simplify the resulting fraction in the usual way.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, then do the division. 3 and 1/4 = 13/4 13 divided by 4 = 3.25
Divide eleven by fifty seven, your quotient is your whole number, your remainder is your numerator and your division is your numerator
The easiest way to do that is to say to yourself, as you look at the fraction, "Now I remember ! A fraction means division." Then divide 45 by 25, and the quotient is the mixed number that you want.
Usually, to find a mixed number answer, you divide 81 (in this case) by 3, and write the answer as the integer part of the mixed number, and the remainder over 3 as the fractional part of the mixed number. However, since 81 divided by 3 is 27, with no remainder, there is no reason to write it as a mixed number. It could be written as 27 and 0/3, but this is not generally the accepted way to write an answer to a division problem that does not involve a remainder.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator.
