"Mixed number" only makes sense for numbers that are greater than or equal to one; this is not the case here.
17 8ths as a mixed number = 21/8
Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add it to the numerator. 2x8=16 16+3=19 so the answer is 19 8ths.
4and 5 8ths
2 + 3/8 change 2 to 8ths 16/8 ( which is another form of 2 ) 16/8 + 3/8 = 19/8 or 2 and 3/8 as a mixed number
1 and 3/8ths is the same as 8/8ths + 3/8ths. This is summed to 11/8ths. Half of that would be 11/16ths.
