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
