(29)/(5) = 5 (4)/(5)

When attempting to turn an improper fraction into a mixed number, always see how many times the denominator can go into the numerator (in this situation "29÷5" is 5 times). Now with 29-25 (25 from 5 times 5) equals 4.So 4 will be the remainder as well as the numerator. So your answer is above! Hope this helps!
