Converting an improper fraction to a mixed fraction
This skill teaches how to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number by dividing to find the whole number part and then expressing the remainder as a fraction.
🎙️
Let's convert 11 quarters to a mixed fraction
🎙️
First we find how many wholes we can take out. 4 quarters is a whole, so we can take out 8 quarters.
🎙️
8 quarters is two wholes. What we have left over is 11 quarters minus the 8 we took out
🎙️
So, that's 2 wholes and 3 quarters as our final mixed fraction.
