Describe how to write a fraction greater than 1 as a mixed number?
Given an improper fraction (a fraction greater than 1), we divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number part of the mixed number. The remainder is the numerator of the fraction part. The denominator is the same as the denominator of the original fraction. For example: Given the fraction 17/5. 17 divided by 5 is 3 with a remainder of 2. The answer is 3 2/5.
What are improper fractions?
An improper fraction is a fraction with the numerator (the top number) being higher than the denominator (the bottom number). For example, 13/5 is an improper fraction because the top number is greater than the bottom number.
