Question

How do you change a improper fraction to a mixed number.

Answer 1

if you had 17 over 4 that would be 17/4

how many times can 4 go into 17?

how ever many timer it goes in will be your whole number.

in this case its 4

there is 1 left over so it would be the numerator

17/4 would equal 4  1/4
