Question

Convert the following improper fraction into a mixed fraction:

$\frac{4}{3}$

Answer 1

Let's convert $\frac{4}{3}$ into a mixed fraction:

An improper fraction is in the form $\frac{numerator}{denominator}$ where $numerator>denominator$.

To convert an improper fraction into a mixed fraction, we divide the numerator by the denominator and write the mixed fraction as:

$quotient\frac{remainder}{divisor}$.

In the improper fraction $\frac{4}{3}$, the numerator is $4$ and the denominator is $3$.

On dividing the numerator by the denominator we get: quotient $=1$, remainder $=1$ and the divisor $=3$.

Hence, $\frac{4}{3}$ can be expressed as the mixed fraction $1\frac{1}{3}$.
