converting a fraction to a mix numeral

Let me show you in an example.

 

First, take the denominator and see how many times it goes in the numerator.

 

Ex. 13/5

 

5 goes into 13 2 times.

 

Then, take that number (in this case 2) and make it your whole number.

 

Ex. 2 13/5

 

Finally, multiply the denominator by the number of times it fits into the numerator...

 

Ex. 5*2=10

 

...and subtract that from the numerator!

 

Ex.

 

13-10=3

 

Finish it off by putting it together!

 

Ex. 2 3/5
