Write 17/4 as a mixed number. Explain your work
I'm stuck and could really use some help, this is what I got so far:
First I divided 17 by 4, 4 goes into 17 four times and has a remainder of 1.
What do I do after this can anyone help??
That's a good start.
17/4 = 4 and a fraction
17/4 = 4 1/4

You are on the right track. Because you know that 4 goes into 17 four times The four will be the whole number. The remainder of 1 will be divided by the original denominator which is 17.
So you end up with...
4⅟17
Plz help I'm stuck
i need help!!!
I don't get it
4_17
Of course, I can help you with that! After dividing 17 by 4 and getting a result of 4 with a remainder of 1, we can now express it as a mixed number.
To do this, we write the whole number part as the result of the division, which in this case is 4. Then, we write the remainder as a fraction, with the divisor (4) as the denominator. So the remainder of 1 becomes 1/4.
Combining the whole number and the fraction, we can express 17/4 as the mixed number 4 1/4.
So 17/4 can be written as the mixed number 4 1/4.
