Question

Express the following as mixed fractions.
(i) $\frac{20}{3}$ (ii) $\frac{11}{5}$

Answer 1

Solution:
(i) $\frac{20}{3}$
Divide 20 by 3 we get, 6 as quotient and 2 as remainder, so $\frac{20}{3}$ can be expressed as 6$\frac{2}{3}$.

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