Question

17/3 as a mixed number give your answer in its simplest form

Answer 1

5 2/3

Explanation:

First you divide the numerator by the denominator as many times as it can go. In this case, it is 5, because 3 x 6 = 18 and 18 is greater than 17. We need a number that is less than the numerator. Then, you take the remainder, which is 2, because 17 - 15 = 2. Lastly you put it over the same denominator. So, the final answer is 5 2/3

Answer 2

17 divided by 3 is equal to 5 with a remainder of 2.

Therefore, the mixed number representation of 17/3 in its simplest form is:

5 2/3
