How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?
A) Divide the numerator by the denominator, write the quotient as the whole number, and the remainder as the new numerator over the original denominator.
B) Multiply the numerator by the denominator, and the result is the mixed number.
C) Add the numerator and denominator, then write the result as the whole number and keep the denominator the same.
D) Subtract the denominator from the numerator and write the difference as the mixed number.

A) Divide the numerator by the denominator, write the quotient as the whole number, and the remainder as the new numerator over the original denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixed number is a number that takes the form of a whole number followed by a fraction that is less than 1. An improper fraction takes the form of a fraction whose numerator is very much a bigger number than its denominator. In order to convert from an improper fraction to a mixed number, we first need to divide the numerator into the denominator, then use its remainder to put as the new numerator over the old denominator next to it.

Example of changing improper fraction to mixed number:

[tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex] = 8÷3 = 2 R2 = [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

(Where R stands for remainder)
