Question

When we convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, the denominator of a mixed number is the same as an improper fraction?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

When we convert an improper fraction to its mixed number, the denominator remains the same.
Verify it: Let's convert $\frac{25}{7}$ into its mixed fraction using long division method:
$\frac{25}{7}=3R4$

$\therefore \frac{25}{7}\text{can be written as}\text{quotient}\frac{\text{remainder}}{\text{divisor}}i.e.3\frac{4}{7}$

$\frac{25}{7}=3\frac{4}{7}$

An improper fraction and its mixed fraction have the same denominator, as can be seen.
