You use “top in bottom out” method. Take the improper fraction, let’s use 49/5. First, concert the improper fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator. You should get 9.8. Convert the 9.8 into a mixed number by placing the number to the right of the decimal over 10. Then reduce your fraction. You should get 9 4/5 and that’s your answer

Answer:

Step- for example, 27/6. The fraction bar means you need to divide 27 by 6.

Divide 27 by 6. The answer is 4, with a remainder of 3. Use the answer as the whole number part of the mixed number, and place the remainder over the original denominator: 4 3/6.
