Write the fraction as a mixed number.

Solution:

A mixed fraction is a mixture of a whole and a proper fraction.

Let us look at an example to understand it better.

Let us convert 23/4 into a mixed number.

• Divide the numerator with the denominator: 23/4 = 5
• Find the remainder: 23 - 20 = 3
• Quotient followed by a fraction of remainder/divisor: 5 3/4

So, 23/4 as a mixed number would be 5 3/4

Hence, a fraction can be written as a mixed number by dividing the numerator with the denominator, finding the remainder, and arranging the numbers in the following way, quotient followed by a fraction of remainder/divisor.

Write the fraction as a mixed number.

Summary:
