A mixed number is (a whole number) plus (a fraction). 362 is a whole number.Where are we supposed to get the fraction from ??If you really must have a mixed number, you can borrow 1 from 362 and use it toconcoct something that looks like a fraction, such as 2/2. Then your mixed number is361 and 2/2 .But why bother ?
An improper fraction is a fraction in which the top number (numerator) is largerthan the bottom number (denominator).Such a fraction can always be converted to a whole number plus sometimes a'proper' fraction.Examples:The improper fraction 45/15 = 3 .The improper fraction 10/7 = 13/7 .
First, look at it as a whole number plus a fraction (part of a whole). Then write the whole number (15) and beside that write the fraction (one fourth). Now take the fraction and convert it to a decimal, which is 1 divided by 4. It will be 15 1/4, which converts to decimal form as 15.25
It seems that somebody told you that every fraction could be written as a whole number.That person knew not whereof he spoke.The smallest whole number is ' 1 '. "7 over 10" is 30 percent less than ' 1 '.It doesn't have what it takes to be any whole number.If every fraction could be written as a whole number, then nobody would need fractions.
Divide the numerator by the denominator. The largest integer quotient is the whole number , the remainder is the numerator , and you use the same denominator. Examples 15/7 = 2 plus remainder 1 = 2 1/7 32/30 = 1 plus remainder 2 = 1 2/30 = 1 1/15
