Question

Write 29/5 as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

$\bold{ \frac{29}{5} } = 29 \div 5 \\ \\ = \boxed{\boxed{\boxed{5 \frac{4}{5} }}}$

Try dividing 29 by 5. It gives you 5 then the remainder would be the numerator (4) while the denominator remains the same.

Answer 2

$\frac{29}{5} = 5 \frac{4}{5}$

When attempting to turn an improper fraction into a mixed number, always see how many times the denominator can go into the numerator (in this situation "29÷5" is 5 times). Now with 29-25 (25 from 5 times 5) equals 4.So 4 will be the remainder as well as the numerator. So your answer is above! Hope this helps!
