Question

Which mixed number is equivalent to this improper fraction?
23/6

A. 2 1/2
B. 3 1/6
C. 3 1/2
D. 3 5/6

Answer 1

first you need to decide how many times 6 will fit in 23.

so you divide 23 by 6 and get 3 wholes and a remainder:
3*6=18.

to find the remainder subtract 23-18=5 the remainder is 5.

thus the mixed number is \[3\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }\]

Answer 2

Thank you!

Answer 3

\[a \frac{ b }{ c }\]

a is the whole number, b is the remainder and c is the denominator.
