Question

to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number divide the numerator by the denominator and write he the remainder if any as a fraction.
convert 17/3to a mixed number. ok it's cool but should it look like this 17 on the outside of the house or three on the outside of the house

Answer 1

House?

Maybe a working example will help. Let's do 20/3

3 goes into 20 a total of 6 times with a remainder of 2. The 6 goes on the outside, and the remainder goes back into the fraction.

20/3 = 6 and 2/3

Answer 2

the denominator of a fraction is the divisor and it goes outside the house.
the numerator is in the inside of the house.
