Converting an improper fraction to a mixed fraction
Test your understanding of converting improper to a mixed fraction by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
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.
