Question

Convert the following improper fractions into mixed fractions:
(i) $\frac{7}{3}$
(ii) $\frac{11}{2}$
(iii) $\frac{9}{4}$
(iv) $\frac{27}{4}$

Answer 1

(i) $\frac{7}{3}$
Divide 7 by 3 we get, 2 as quotient and 1 as remainder, so $\frac{7}{3}$ can be expressed as 2$\frac{1}{3}$.

(ii) $\frac{11}{2}$
Divide 11 by 2 we get, 5 as quotient and 1 as remainder, so $\frac{11}{2}$ can be expressed as 5$\frac{1}{2}$.

(iii) $\frac{9}{4}$
Divide 9 by 4 we get, 2 as quotient and 1 as remainder, so $\frac{9}{4}$ can be expressed as 2$\frac{1}{4}$.

(iv) $\frac{27}{4}$
Divide 27 by 4 we get, 6 as quotient and 3 as remainder, so $\frac{27}{4}$ can be expressed as 6$\frac{3}{4}$.
