How do you change 253 in to a mixed number?

You can't. A mixed number is the sum of a whole number and a proper fraction. 253 is a whole number, and if you split it up into a fraction, it would consist of a whole number and an improper fraction.

How do you change proper fractions as whole numbers?

If it is a fraction like 5/5 than you can make it into a whole number which in this case is 1, but if you have a fraction such as 3/8 the closest whole number you can get is 0.375 which by the way is not a whole number. however technically, 5/5 is not proper. A proper fraction is when the numerator is less than the denominator, therefore it is simply impossible.

It's simple really! When there is a whole number and a proper fraction it is a mixed number!


What is the combination of whole fraction and proper fraction?

A combination of a whole fraction and a proper fraction refers to a mixed number, which consists of a whole number and a proper fraction together. For example, in the mixed number 3¾, the "3" is the whole number and "¾" is the proper fraction, which has a numerator smaller than its denominator. Mixed numbers are often used to represent quantities that are not whole, providing a more precise way to express values.


How is the product of a proper fraction and a whole number similar to and different from the product of two proper fraction?

The product of a proper fraction and a whole number results in a smaller number than the whole number, maintaining the same basic numerical relationship as multiplying two proper fractions, which also yields a smaller number. However, the key difference lies in the nature of the multiplicands; a whole number has a value greater than or equal to one, while a proper fraction is always less than one. Consequently, when multiplying a proper fraction by a whole number, the result is a proper fraction or whole number, whereas the product of two proper fractions will always be a proper fraction.


How do you change a proper fraction to a whole number?

A proper fraction is one in which the numerator is less than the denominator.That means that the value of the fraction is less than '1', so it can't be changedto a whole number.If you have an IMPROPER fraction ... one in which the numerator is more than the denominator ...then it can be changed to a whole number plus a proper fraction, like this:-- Divide the numerator by the denominator, to get the whole number, and a remainder.-- Write the proper fraction. Keep the original denominator, place the remainder in the numerator.


How do you change a proper fraction into a whole or mixed number?

You cannot. By definition, a proper fraction is a number whose absolute value is between 0 and 1. There are no whole numbers between 0 and 1 so the number cannot be changed into a whole number. Also, since the absolute value is less than 1, it cannot be expressed as a mixed number.


How do you change a fraction with a whole number to a decimal?

The whole number will stay the same. Convert the proper fraction part of the mixed number to a decimal by dividing the denominator into the numerator. 2 and 3/8 = 2.375
