1 Answer

3 votes

Answer:

10 6/8 or 10 3/4

Explanation:

Calculate out how many times the denominator goes into the numerator. To do that, divide 86 by 8 and keep only what is to the left of the decimal point:

86 / 8 = 10.7500 = 10

Multiply the answer from Step 1 by the denominator and deduct that from the original numerator.

86 - (8 x 10) = 6

Keep the original denominator and use the answers from Step 1 and Step 2 to get this:

10 6/8

Minimize the fraction part from Step 3 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, which is the greatest common factor, to get the final answer. 86/8 as a Mixed Number is:

10 3/4
