Question

70/18 into a mixed number

Answer 1

Answer:

$3\frac{16}{18}$ or $3\frac{8}{9}$ (simplified version)

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixed number looks like $3\frac{1}{5}$. It can be interpreted as $3+\frac{1}{5}$.

To turn a mixed number into an improper fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator and put this in the front of the fraction. Leave the remainder in the fraction part of the mixed number.

70 ÷ 18 = 3  R=16

$3\frac{16}{18}$ or $3\frac{8}{9}$ (simplified version)

Answer 2

Answer:

3 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

How many times does 18 multiply to 70-

18 * 1 = 18

18 * 2 = 36

18 * 3 = 54

18 * 4 = 72

If we go past 3 times then it goes higher than 70, so 18 goes into 70 3 times.

18 * 3 = 54

70 - 54 = 16

The left over will be the numerator and the denominator stays the same.

Don’t forget to simplify-

16 / 2 = 8

18 / 2 = 9
