Answer 2

Check it below

Explanation:

1) Below the number line, rewrite all of the several numbers as improper fractions, a fraction whose numerator is greater than the denominator on a number line. In this case, let's restrict ourselves to the numbers greater than 1.

(Check the picture 1)

2) Generally, Mixed Numbers represent not exact divisions so they must be between whole numbers line.

To Convert an Improper fraction into a Mixed Number:

Keep the denominator.

Divide the Numerator by the Denominator, placing the remainder as the new Numerator and the quotient as the whole number.

`(11)/(2)=5(1)/(2)`

3) We could have other improper fractions and their Mixed Numbers.
