Question

Change 47/3 to a mixed number show Your work​

Answer 1

Answer:   15 & 2/3

=======================================================

Explanation:

Use a calculator or long division to find that 47/3 = 15.667

Erase the decimal portion to get 15

Then note how 15*3 = 45, which is 2 short of 47.

This means 47/3 = 15 remainder 2.

The remainder 2 portion forms the numerator of the fractional part of the mixed number.

The improper fraction 47/3 converts to the mixed number 15 & 2/3

---------------

Here's another way to do the problem

47/3 = (45+2)/3

47/3 = 45/3 + 2/3

47/3 = 15 + 2/3

47/3 = 15 & 2/3
