Question

Express the following as mixed fractions:
( A ) $\frac{20}{3}$
( B ) $\frac{11}{5}$

Answer 1

(A) On dividing 20 by 3 we get, 6 as quotient and 2 as remainder, so $\frac{20}{3}$ can be expressed as $6\frac{2}{3}$.

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