Convert Fraction to Mixed Number: Solving 7/4

To solve this problem, we'll convert the improper fraction into a mixed number. Here's how:

• Step 1: Perform division. Divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (4).
• Step 2: Determine the whole number part. The division $7 \div 4$ equals 1 with a remainder of 3.
• Step 3: Form the fractional part. Use the remainder (3) over the original denominator (4) to form the fractional part of the mixed number.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Calculate $7 \div 4$ which gives us a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 3.
Step 2: The whole number is 1.
Step 3: The fractional part is $\frac{3}{4}$, which comes from the remainder over the original denominator.

Therefore, the mixed number is $1\frac{3}{4}$.
