Answer:

2 9/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction.

Hope this helps. :-)

Answer:

2 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To change an improper fraction to a mixed number

Take 33 and divide by 12

12 goes into 33 two times

2*12 =24

33-24 = 9

2 9/12

We can simplify the fraction

Divide the top and bottom by 3

9/3 =3

12/3 =4

The mixed number becomes

2 3/4
