Question

What would be 47/6 as a mixed number?

Answer 1

An easy trick I learned was, " How many times can 6 (the bottom number/denominator) go into 47 (the top number)?
6 times what id 47?
Nothing so we have to try again.
6 x 8= 48 too high
6 x 7= 42 good

Now 47 - 42 is 5.

So the answer is 7 5/6 because 6 can go into 47 7 times without going over.

Hope this helped!
