Question

Change 7/3 from an improper fraction to a mixed number.

7 0/3
2 1/3
3 1/2
2 3/1

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here is what the mixed number looks like.
`W(R)/(D)`

W- whole numbers (that is the integers)

R- remainder

D- denominator

If you ever want to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, here are the steps.

Step 1: Use traditional division. How many does 3 goes into 7? 2 times with remainder, R=1 (how many is left over after dividing).

Step 2: Replace the unknowns with D=3

Note: the denominator always stays the same!

`2(1)/(3)`
