anonymous · Answer

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:$$3\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }=3.5$$

That is an example

anonymous · Answer

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.
