Question

Reduce 25/28 into a whole number and a fraction with the same denominator

Answer 1

`\text{The required mixed fraction of the given fraction is = }0\tfrac{25}{28}`

Explanation:

When converting the fraction into a fraction and a fraction with same denominator :

Step 1 : First divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator, and the quotient obtained is the required whole number.

⇒ For the given fraction : When we divide 25 by 28 we get the quotient 0 so the whole number is 0.

Step 2 : Then after dividing the fraction will be remainder upon divisor. So, the divisor is same as the denominator. hence the denominator is same as required.

⇒ For the given fraction, the remainder is 25 and the divisor is 28. So the required fraction with the same denominator is 25 by 28

These type of fractions with whole number along with the fraction part are known as mixed type fractions.

`\text{Hence the required mixed fraction of the given fraction is = }0\tfrac{25}{28}`
