To write 11/2 as a mixed number, you need to divide the numerator (11) by the denominator (2). The quotient will be the whole number part of the mixed number, and the remainder will be the numerator of the fractional part.

In this case, when you divide 11 by 2, the quotient is 5 and the remainder is 1. Therefore, the mixed number representation of 11/2 is 5 1/2.
