Question

Mixed numbers have both fractions and _____ numbers.​

Answer 1

"Whole"

Explanation:

A mixed number is made out of two parts: the fraction and the whole number.

Other material would say that a mixed number has three parts: the numerator, denominator, and the whole number. This is also correct, as the numerator and denominator make up the fraction in the mixed number.

The fraction is the 'incomplete' part of the mixed number, and the whole number is the 'complete' part of the mixed number.

For example:

`3.25 = 3(1)/(4)`

0.25 = 1/4

3.00 = 3

"Whole" should fill in the blank and make the statement true.
