I need help writing 57/18 as a mixed number. Can somebody show me how to do it .Because I'm not understanding what to do.
Divide 57 by 18.
57/18 = 3 3/18 = 3 1/6
When I divide 57 by 18, I'm still not getting the right answer.
What answer do you get?
Probably shouldn't tell you this, but there is "magic" fraction button on your calculator that does all your operations in fraction form
look for a key labeled: a b/c
to enter 57/18
57
a b/c
18
=
see what you get ?
now press
2ndF
a b/c
and 2ndF
a b/c again, WOW
notice the symbol that looks like an "r" separates the mixed fraction into into 3 parts.
btw, press the key
a b/c
again, what did you get ?
press it again,
Neat, eh?
Certainly! I can help you with that. To write a fraction as a mixed number, you need to divide the numerator (57) by the denominator (18) and then express the answer as a whole number plus a fraction.
Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. First, divide 57 by 18. The quotient will give you the whole number part of the mixed number.
57 ÷ 18 = 3 remainder 3
2. The quotient is 3, which will be the whole number part of the mixed number.
3. Next, take the remainder (in this case, 3) and place it as the numerator of the fraction part.
4. The denominator of the fraction part remains the same, which is 18.
So, the mixed number representation of 57/18 is 3 3/18.
However, we can simplify the fraction further. Both the numerator and denominator have a common factor of 3.
5. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 3 to simplify the fraction.
Numerator: 3 ÷ 3 = 1
Denominator: 18 ÷ 3 = 6
The simplified fraction is 1/6.
Therefore, the final answer is 3 1/6.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
