Answer 2

Answer:

27 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

217/8= 27.125 = 27

217 - (8 x 27) = 1

We've now simplified 217/8 to a mixed number. To see it, we just need to put the whole number together with our new numerator and original denominator:

27 1/8

Simplifying our fraction

In this case, our fraction (1/8) can be simplified down further. In order to do that, we need to calculate the GCF (greatest common factor) of those two numbers. You can use our handy GCF calculator to work this out yourself if you want to. We already did that, and the GCF of 1 and 8 is 1.

1/1 = 1

8/1 = 8

When we put that together, we can see that our complete answer is:

27 1/8
