Write each of the fractions below as a division expression. Then write each fraction as a whole number or mixed number
(I need help with this, because it confuses me as to how to write it as a division expression. Also sorry for no work saw.)
1. 5/4
2. 16/8
3. 14/3
4. 17/12
All of those are shown as division problems. The sign / indicates division.
5/4 = 1 1/4
16/8 = 2
1/4
To write each fraction as a division expression, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator.
1. 5/4 can be written as 5 ÷ 4.
2. 16/8 can be written as 16 ÷ 8.
3. 14/3 can be written as 14 ÷ 3.
4. 17/12 can be written as 17 ÷ 12.
Now, to write each fraction as a whole number or mixed number, we need to simplify the division expression to its simplest form.
1. 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25. Since the result is a decimal, we can also write it as a mixed number: 1 1/4.
2. 16 ÷ 8 = 2. This is already a whole number.
3. 14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2 or 4 2/3 as a mixed number.
4. 17 ÷ 12 = 1 remainder 5 or 1 5/12 as a mixed number.
