How do I write a mixed number fractions greater than 1.
6/5
13/5
9/5
17/5
How do I solve it?
6 / 5 = ( 5 + 1 ) / 5 = 5 / 5 + 1 / 5 = 1 + 1 / 5 = 1 1 / 5 = 1 .2
13 / 5 = ( 10 + 3 ) / 5 = 10 / 5 + 3 / 5 = 2 + 3 / 5 = 2 3 / 5 = 2.6
9 / 5 = ( 5 + 4 ) / 5 = 5 / 5 + 4 / 5 = 1 4 / 5 = 1.8
7 / 5 = ( 5 + 2 ) / 5 = 1 + 2 / 5 = 1 2 / 5 = 1.4
To write mixed number fractions greater than 1, you need to divide the numerator (the number on top) by the denominator (the number on the bottom). The quotient will be the whole number part of the mixed number, and the remainder will be the fraction part.
Let's take the examples you provided:
1. For 6/5, divide 6 by 5. The quotient is 1, which is the whole number part. The remainder is 1, so the fraction part is 1/5. Therefore, 6/5 can be written as the mixed number 1 1/5.
2. For 13/5, divide 13 by 5. The quotient is 2, which is the whole number part. The remainder is 3, so the fraction part is 3/5. Therefore, 13/5 can be written as the mixed number 2 3/5.
3. For 9/5, divide 9 by 5. The quotient is 1, which is the whole number part. The remainder is 4, so the fraction part is 4/5. Therefore, 9/5 can be written as the mixed number 1 4/5.
4. For 17/5, divide 17 by 5. The quotient is 3, which is the whole number part. The remainder is 2, so the fraction part is 2/5. Therefore, 17/5 can be written as the mixed number 3 2/5.
Remember, when you write a mixed number, you put the whole number part followed by the proper fraction part.
