Yes, I can help you convert a proper fraction to a mixed number. To convert 3/4 to a mixed number, you need to divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4). The quotient will be the whole number part of your mixed number.

In this case, when you divide 3 by 4, the quotient is 0 with a remainder of 3. This means that the whole number part of your mixed number is 0.

Next, you take the remainder (3) as the numerator, and the original denominator (4) remains as the denominator. So, the fraction part of your mixed number is 3/4.

Therefore, the mixed number equivalent of 3/4 is 0 3/4.
