Hello!
A mixed number is a number that consists of a whole number and a fraction.
The numerator of a fraction is how many of the denominator there are, and the denominator is thr whole (total amount).
In this improper fraction, the whole is 4, and the numerator is greater than the denominator.
The question is, how many wholes of 4 can be made with that numerator?
First, divide the numerator by the denominator to find the whole number.
83 ÷ 4 = 20.75
This means that the whole number is 20.
Next, multiply this whole number by the denominator, and then subtract that from the original numerator to find the new numerator.
83 - (4 × 20) = 3
Finally, place the new numerator over the old denominator.
ANSWER:
83/4 = 20 3/4 as a mixed number.
