Answer:

2

Explanation:

since you have 84/42, and you are supposed to convert the improper fraction to a mixed number, the easiest place to start is to divide the two numbers and find the remainder. In this case, however, there is no remainder, as 84 divided by 42 is exactly 2. Therefore, the most simplified fraction would be 2 (although it does not look like a fraction the most simplified form of the fraction is 2/1 --> which is just 2). Hope this helps!
