How are mixed numbers used in The real world

1 answer:

3 0

Often, mixed number are used in terms of amounts of something. You would never say I have 16/5 pies. You would say I have 3 full pies and 1/5 of another pie.

In this example, 3 1/5 is better to use than the improper 16/5

Hope this helps!
