Step1. Rewrite the problem in vertical form. Step 2. Compare the two fractions. If the top fraction is larger than the bottom fraction, go to Step 3. If not, in the top mixed number, take one whole and add it to the fraction part, making a mixed number with an improper fraction. Step 3. Subtract the fractions. Amixed number is a whole number and a proper fraction represented together. Mixed numbers and improper fractions basically represent the same thing but we write them into different formats. It generally represents a number between any two whole numbers. For example, $3\frac{1}{2}$ lies between 3 and 4; $2\frac{3}{5}$ lies between 2 and 3, etc. Example8. -- "2 and one-third" -- is a mixed number. It is 2 plus.. The and in "2 and one-third" means plus.. To place on the number line, the unit between 2 and 3 must be cut into thirds. We cut the line twice. Improper fractions. If we divide each whole unit into thirds, say, and keep counting them -- then we will come to , , , and so on.That is, we will come to Solution 5/3 as a mixed number is 1 2/3. Methods. Step-by-step solution of converting 5/3 as a mixed number. There are three basic steps to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number: Divide the numerator by the denominator (you can use long division if you want to!) to find out what the quotient and the remainder are. If the fraction is 18793 ÷ 100 x 12.07 = 2.268 (rounded to 3 decimal places) 4: Multiply the number of hours accrued in each week by the number of weeks off sick to find the total . 18793 ÷ 100 x 12.07 = 2.268 (rounded to 3 decimal places) 4: Multiply the number of hours accrued in each week by the number of weeks off sick to find the total Step1. Rewrite the problem in vertical form. Step 2. Compare the two fractions. If the top fraction is larger than the bottom fraction, go to Step 3. If not, in the top mixed number, take one whole and add it to the fraction part, making a mixed number with an improper fraction. Step 3. Subtract the fractions. Example1: Convert 7/4 to a mixed number. Step 1: Divide the numerator by the denominator: 7 ÷ 4 = 1 with a remainder of 3. Step 2: Write the quotient as the whole number, and the remainder as the numerator of the proper fraction. The denominator remains the same. As a result, 7/4 can be expressed as 1 3/4. 215 = 105 + 15 = 115. Multiply the fractions (multiply the top numbers, multiply bottom numbers): 32 × 115 = 3 × 112 × 5 = 3310. Convert to a mixed number. 3310 = 3 310. If you are clever you can do it all in one line like this: 1 12 × 2 15 = 32 × 115 = 3310 = 3 310. One More Example: What is 3 14 × 3 13? Convert Mixed to Improper Forinstance, the number 4 1/2 is a mixed number representing the sum 4 + 1/2. Create an account Table of Contents. Dividing Fractions and Mixed Numbers; Dividing Fractions;
