Question

What is $\frac{10}{3}$ as a mixed number ?

Answer 1

To reduce a top heavy fraction (where the number on top is bigger than the bottom) to a mixed number, the numerator (top) will be divided by the denominator (bottom).
For $\frac{10}{3}$, the $10$ can be divided by $3$ to take out the number times $3$ occurs in $10$.
$\frac{10}{3}=\frac{9+1}{3}=\frac{3\times 3\times 3+1}{3}=\frac{3\left(3\right)+1}{3}=3\frac{1}{3}$
