Describe how to rename an improper fraction as a mixed number. Use an example to explain.
I don't get the "renaming" part. Does it mean to explain how to convert it?
what is 4/3
Yes, "renaming" an improper fraction as a mixed number means converting it from a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, into a whole number part followed by a proper fraction part. This process is also commonly known as "changing an improper fraction to a mixed number."
To rename an improper fraction as a mixed number, follow these steps:
Step 1: Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Step 2: The quotient obtained from the division is the whole number part of the mixed number.
Step 3: The remainder obtained from the division is the numerator of the proper fraction part.
Step 4: The original denominator remains the denominator of the proper fraction part.
For example, let's rename the improper fraction 7/3 as a mixed number:
Step 1: Divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (3). 7 รท 3 = 2 remainder 1.
Step 2: The quotient obtained from the division is 2, so the whole number part of the mixed number is 2.
Step 3: The remainder obtained from the division is 1, so the numerator of the proper fraction part is 1.
Step 4: The original denominator (3) remains the denominator of the proper fraction part.
Therefore, the mixed number that represents the improper fraction 7/3 is 2 1/3.
