Mixed Numbers and Fractions Greater than 1 - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

To solve the problem, we will convert the given improper fraction $\frac{10}{7}$ to a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

• Step 1: Divide the numerator (10) by the denominator (7). This gives a quotient and a remainder.

• Step 2: Calculating $10 \div 7$ gives a quotient of 1 because 7 goes into 10 once.

• Step 3: Multiply the quotient by the divisor ($1 \times 7 = 7$).

• Step 4: Subtract the product obtained in step 3 from the original numerator to find the remainder: $10 - 7 = 3$.

• Step 5: Compose the mixed number using the quotient as the whole number and the remainder over the divisor as the fraction part: $\frac{3}{7}$.

Thus, the mixed number representation of $\frac{10}{7}$ is $\mathbf{1\frac{3}{7}}$.

To solve this problem, we need to convert the improper fraction $\frac{12}{8}$ into a mixed number.

Here's how we'll do it:

• The first step is to divide the numerator by the denominator: $12 \div 8$.
• This division gives us a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 4.
• The quotient, 1, becomes the whole number part of our mixed number.
• The remainder is used as the new numerator over the original denominator to form the fractional part: $\frac{4}{8}$.
• The mixed number is thus $1\frac{4}{8}$.
• Finally, since $\frac{4}{8}$ can be simplified, we reduce it to $\frac{1}{2}$.

Thus, the mixed number representation is correctly simplified as $1\frac{1}{2}$.

However, when selecting from the given choices, the correct choice based on the options provided is $1\frac{4}{8}$ (Choice 4), which matches the unsimplified form.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $1\frac{4}{8}$.

To convert the improper fraction $\frac{13}{9}$ into a mixed number, we follow these steps:

• Step 1: Perform the division of the numerator by the denominator. Divide 13 by 9.
• Step 2: Determine the whole number part by using the quotient of the division.
• Step 3: Find the remainder to establish the fractional part.
• Step 4: Write the mixed number using the whole number from Step 2 and the fractional part formed by the remainder and original denominator.

Let's carry out these steps in detail:

Divide 13 by 9:

$13 \div 9 = 1$ with a remainder of $4$.

This division tells us that 9 fits into 13 a total of 1 time, with a remainder of 4.

The whole number part of our mixed number is therefore 1, and the remainder 4 forms the numerator of our fractional part over the original denominator, which is 9.

So, the fractional part is $\frac{4}{9}$.

Therefore, the improper fraction $\frac{13}{9}$ as a mixed number is $\mathbf{1\frac{4}{9}}$.

To solve the problem of converting the fraction $\frac{16}{10}$ to a mixed number, we proceed with the following steps:

• Step 1: Identify the numerator (16) and the denominator (10).
• Step 2: Divide the numerator by the denominator to find the whole number part.
  Dividing 16 by 10 gives us a quotient of 1 (whole number) and a remainder of 6.
• Step 3: Express the result as a mixed number.
  The whole number part is 1, and the remainder is the numerator of the fractional part over the original denominator. This is $\frac{6}{10}$.
• Step 4: Write the final mixed number as: $1\frac{6}{10}$.

Therefore, the mixed number form of the fraction $\frac{16}{10}$ is $1\frac{6}{10}$.

To convert the improper fraction $\frac{17}{11}$ to a mixed number, we proceed as follows:

• Step 1: Perform the division $17 \div 11$. We find: - The quotient (whole number) is 1 since 11 goes into 17 once.
  - The remainder is 6 because $17 - (11 \times 1) = 6$.

• Step 2: Express the remainder as a fraction over the original denominator. Hence, the fractional part is $\frac{6}{11}$.

• Step 3: Combine the quotient and the remainder fraction to form the mixed number: $1\frac{6}{11}$.

Therefore, the mixed number equivalent of the fraction $\frac{17}{11}$ is $1\frac{6}{11}$.
