???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A mixed number is a number followed by a proper fraction. A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator. Ex:\[3\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }=3.5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no that isn't it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is an example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the easiest way to convert to this is to think about what .55 is as a decimal, This is fifty-five hundredths or 55/100. Now you have\[57\frac{ 55 }{ 100 }\]I'm going to leave you responsible for simplifying that fraction. That will be your final answer.
