Question

Simplify the fraction 15/4​

Answer 1

That would be 3 3 /4

15 divided by 4 is 3.75

That would be 3 wholes and a reminder of .75 or 75%.

75% of 4 would be 3/4.

So your mixed number is 3 3/4.

Answer 2

3 3/4

Explanation:

Simplify the fraction by turning it into a mixed fraction. In this case, divide. Leave your answer as a mixed fraction:

15/4 = (4 * 3)/4 + 3/4 = 12/4 + 3/4 = 15/4

(4 * 3)/4 = 3

3/4 + 3 = 3 3/4

3 3/4 is your answer.
