Lucas wants to write 3 over two or 3÷2 as a mixed number he performs the division below 3÷2 equals one remainder one explain how to write the quotient as a mixed number drag the words to complete the explanation words maybe use once or not at all use the whole number part of the___ as the whole number, part of the mixed number. Write the_ in the numerator of the fraction and write_______ in the denominator of the fraction.

Question

A. Quotient
B. Remainder.
C. Divisor.
D. Dividend.

Answer 1

To write the quotient as a mixed number, Lucas should use the whole number part of the dividend as the whole number part of the mixed number. He should write the remainder as the numerator of the fraction and the divisor as the denominator of the fraction. In this case, the whole number part of the quotient is 1 (from the division 3÷2), the remainder is 1, and the divisor is 2. Therefore, the mixed number representation of 3÷2 is 1 1/2.
