Answer:

2 11/50

Explanation:

Convert to a mixed number:

111/50

Hint: | Use long division to get a quotient and remainder.

Divide 111 by 50:

5 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1

Hint: | How many times does 50 go into 111?

50 goes into 111 at most 2 times:

| | | | 2

5 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1

| - | 1 | 0 | 0

| | | 1 | 1

Hint: | Summarize the results.

Read off the results. The quotient is the number at the top and the remainder is the number at the bottom:

| | | | 2 | (quotient)

5 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |

| - | 1 | 0 | 0 |

| | | 1 | 1 | (remainder)

Hint: | In the equivalent mixed fraction, the quotient becomes the whole number part, the remainder becomes the numerator part, and the divisor (denominator) remains the denominator.

The quotient of 111/50 is 2 with remainder 11, so:

Answer: 2 11/50
