Question

50/9 as a mixed fraction

Answer 1

5 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

9 goes into 50 4 times and the subtract that from 50

Answer 2

5
`(5)/(9)`

Step-by-step explanation:

50/9= 5.5555555555556 = 5

Now that we have our whole number for the mixed fraction, we need to find our new numerator for the fraction part of the mixed number.

Step 2: Get the new numerator

To work this out we'll use the whole number we calculated in step one (5) and multiply it by the original denominator (9). The result of that multiplication is then subtracted from the original numerator:

50 - (9 x 5) = 5

Step 3: Our mixed fraction

We've now simplified 50/9 to a mixed number. To see it, we just need to put the whole number together with our new numerator and original denominator:

5
`(5)/(9)`
