Mixed Fraction 4461A1


1. The problem asks to express given improper fractions as mixed fractions in their simplest form. 2. A mixed fraction consists of a whole number and a proper fraction. 3. To convert an improper fraction $\frac{a}{b}$ to a mixed fraction: - Divide $a$ by $b$ to get the quotient (whole number part). - The remainder becomes the numerator of the proper fraction. - The denominator remains $b$. 4. Simplify the proper fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). 5. Example: Convert $\frac{7}{3}$ to a mixed fraction. - Divide 7 by 3: quotient = 2, remainder = 1. - Mixed fraction = $2 \frac{1}{3}$. - The fraction $\frac{1}{3}$ is already in simplest form. 6. Repeat this process for each improper fraction given. Since no specific fractions were provided, this is the general method to convert any improper fraction to a mixed fraction in simplest form.
