Question

58/7 as a mixed number

Answer 1

58/7 as a mixed number would be 8 2/7.

I do nothing really complicated.

7 times what equals 58? Or is close to 58? It would be 8. 7 x 8 = 56

How far is 56 from 58? By two numbers.

So, the mixed number would have 8 wholes, and 2/7 of a whole.

8 2/7.

It was a little hard for me to explain it, but hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

To convert an improper fraction into a mixed number, you must find how many times the denominator fits into the numerator cleanly.
58/7
=8.385
It fits in 8 times.
8*7=56
58-56=2
There is a remainder of 2.

The Mixed number would be 8 2/7.

Hope this helps!
