Answer 1

To change an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient becomes the whole number part, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fractional part.

Step-by-step explanation:

To change an improper fraction to a mixed number, you divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient of the division becomes the whole number part, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fractional part. For example, to change the improper fraction 13/3 to a mixed number, you divide 13 by 3, which gives you 4 with a remainder of 1. So the mixed number equivalent is 4 1/3.

Using this process, the correct answers for the given fractions are:

I. 6 1/2

II. 8 1/8

III. 8 3/4

IV. 13 1/3

V. 13 2/3
