Mixed number

Mixed number

So let's make all of these fractions.

So that's why it's a mixed number.

And so we could write this.

And we get r is less than 23 over 8.

3 left over, but it's 3 of your 4, or 3 4 left over.

This is as an improper fraction.

let's say, two and one half.

So we have two mixed numbers here.

So 1 and 7 68.

They want us to write it as a mixed number.

It's that simple.

5 versus 5.

Let me just do a little side example here.

This is a decimal.

So first a little bit of terminology.

So let's go the other way.

We're asked to subtract, simplify the answer and write as a mixed number.

Enable showing the result also as a mixed number

We now have to write it as a mixed a number.

So 3 5 divided by 1 2 as an improper fraction is 6 5.

So let's start with the latter.

7 is larger than 4.

How many?

Now it would be really strange to just say, OK, that's the same thing as 3 and 9 8, because you have a mixed number with a whole number and an improper fraction.

Negative 8 divided by 7 is negative 8 7.

Add and simplify the answer and write as a mixed number.

Simplify the answer and write as a mixed number.

We might have to simplify it down to lowest terms.

So we divide the 5 into the 6, figure out how many times it goes.

4 and 7 8 versus 49 9.

So the first thing we want to do is rewrite each of these mixed numbers as improper fractions.

Multiply 1 and 3 4 times 7 and 1 5.

Simplify your answer and write it as a mixed fraction.

Divide.

So this is 2 and 1 2 as a mixed number 1, 2, and 1 2 as a mixed number.

Add.

And so this mark right over here is 27 8.

Multiply 6 times 1 4.

So let's write that down.

Actually, let me keep it the way it is right now.

Now, I want to make one thing very clear.

Let's say, seventeen over eight.

So we just get one fifty one over one forty three
