Question

What is 521/3 as a mixed number?

Answer 1

$\sqrt[3]{521}$

3 goes into 5 one time, because 3 * 1 = 3

5 - 3 = 2 (bring down the 2)

3 goes into 22 seven times, because 7 * 3 = 21

22 - 21 = 1 (bring down the 1)

3 goes into 11 three times, because 3 * 3 = 9

11 - 9 = 2

The answer is $173 \frac{2}{3}$

Answer 2

So you do 521 ÷ 3 = 173 (remainder of 2). Then, you put 173 as the whole number on the right and 2 above 3, written like: 173 2/3
