A mixed number is of the form a b/c where a, b and c are integers and a and c are non-zero.Now, a b/c = (ac + b)/c
and, by the laws governing the basic operations for integers, (ac + b) is an integer.
Therefore, the mixed number can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. It is therefore a rational number.
