12 As A Mixed Number

What are Mixed Numbers?

A mixed number is a whole number, and a proper fraction represented together. It generally represents a number between any ii whole numbers.

Await at the given paradigm, it represents a fraction that is greater than ane but less than 2. Information technology is thus, a mixed number.

Another examples of mixed numbers are

Parts of a Mixed Number

A mixed number is formed past combining iii parts: a whole number, a numerator, and a denominator. The numerator and denominator are part of the proper fraction that makes the mixed number.

Properties of Mixed Numbers

Information technology is partly a whole number.
It is partly a fraction.

Converting improper fractions to mixed fractions.

Step 1: Split up the numerator by the denominator.

Step 2: Write down the caliber every bit the whole number.

Footstep 3: Write down the residuum as the numerator and the divisor as the denominator.

For example, we follow the given steps to convert 7/3 into a mixed number form.

Step 1: Divide 7 by 3

Step 2: Write quotient, divisor and remainder in class as in step two and pace 3 above.

Adding Mixed Numbers

One can add mixed numbers by rearranging the whole numbers, adding them separately and calculation the leftover fractions individually and in the end combing them all.

1¹⁄_two+ 3ⁱⁱⁱ⁄₄

Adding the whole numbers separately and the fractions separately.

For whole numbers:

1+iii = four

For fractions: Discover the LCM and and then add

In the end, calculation both the parts together.

4+1^one⁄_four =5¹⁄₄

Real Life Examples

We can check our agreement of mixed fractions by expressing the parts of a whole as mixed fractions while serving a pizza or a pie at dwelling. Leftover pizzas, half-filled glasses of milk form examples of mixed fractions.
