Question

53.9 as a mixed number

Answer 1

Answer:

The fraction 53 9 is equivalent to 5 8 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

This fraction is a improper fraction once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (53) is greater than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (9). So, the equivalent fraction is a mixed number which is made up of a whole number (5) and a proper fraction ( 8 9 ).

Answer 2

$53 \frac{9}{10}$

53.9 can be split into 53 and .9

53 is the whole number

.9 is in the tenths place so it can be written out of 10: $\frac{9}{10}$

It doesn't need to be simplified leaving us with 53 $\frac{9}{10}$
