Properties of Mixed Numbers

It is partly a whole number.
It is partly a fraction.

Converting improper fractions to mixed fractions.

Step i: Carve up the numerator by the denominator.

Pace two: Write down the quotient as the whole number.

Stride three: Write downwards the remainder every bit the numerator and the divisor as the denominator.

For example, nosotros follow the given steps to catechumen 7/3 into a mixed number form.

Step one: Dissever 7 by 3

Footstep 2: Write quotient, divisor and remainder in form as in step 2 and step 3 higher up.

1¹⁄₂+ 3^three⁄_four

Adding the whole numbers separately and the fractions separately.

For whole numbers:

ane+3 = 4

For fractions: Discover the LCM and then add together

In the end, calculation both the parts together.

4+i¹⁄_iv =5^ane⁄_iv

Real Life Examples

Nosotros can check our understanding of mixed fractions by expressing the parts of a whole as mixed fractions while serving a pizza or a pie at domicile. Leftover pizzas, half-filled glasses of milk form examples of mixed fractions.
