Question

Try changing these improper fractions to mixed numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

3 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The improper fraction 16/5 is called improper because the top number(the numerator) is bigger than the bottom number(the denominator) we "fix" this by dividing and creating a mixed number (it is called mixed because there is a whole part and a fraction part):

As 16÷5 >>> doing this division gives you 3 wholes and 1/5 leftover. We write this as

3 1/5 (in handwriting the three is big and the 1/5 is a fraction, it is the mixed number they are asking you for)
