How do you write 55 over 16 as a mixed number?

Answer 1

To write a fraction as a mixed number, you need to subtract multiples of the denominator from the numerator until the numerator is less than the denominator. In this case we take off 16s from 55. 55-16=39. 39-16=23. 23-16=7

So we're left with 7/16, and we've taken off 16 three times which means we have 3 units.

So 55/16 as a mixed number is 3 and 7/16

Answer 2

Well honey, to write 55 over 16 as a mixed number, you divide 55 by 16. You get 3 with a remainder of 7. So, the mixed number is 3 and 7/16. Simple math, darling.
