How do you write 56 as a mixed number?

Answer 1

You cannot. 5/6 is a fraction which whose absolute value is smaller than one and so it cannot be written as a mixed number. 56 is an integer and so cannot be written as a mixed number.

Answer 2

As a mixed number, 56 is the same as 1 55/1. When we convert it back into an improper fraction we get 1 x 1 = 1 + 55 = 56. Then we place it over the original denominator so 56/1.

Answer 3

5.6 = 56/10 = 28/5 = 5 3/5
