Question

Rewrite 6/5 as a mixed number.

Answer 1

Step 1 - Find Whole Number

Calculate out how many times the denominator goes into the numerator. To do that, divide 6 by 5 and keep only what is to the left of the decimal point:

6 / 5 = 1.2000 = 1

Step 2 - Find New Numerator

the answer from Step 1 by the denominator and deduct that from the original numerator.

6 - (5 x 1) = 1

Step 3 - Get Solution

Keep the original denominator and use the answers from Step 1 and Step 2 to get the answer. 6/5 as a mixed number is:

1 1/5
