Given a mixed number:
15 4/10
Change to whole number.
Solution:
In order to change a mixed number into a whole number, we determine it's value by equating the value of the fraction. Since 15 is already a whole number, we will only focus on the fraction which is 4/10, and after we have the value of 4/10, we will add it to 15
4/10 = 0.4
= 15 + 0.4
= 15.4
Now since we are asked for a whole number, we will round the given value to the nearest whole number. In rounding numbers, it must be taken to note that if the number is greater than or equal to 5 then the succeeding number will be added by 1, hence if the number is less than 5, then the succeeding number will remain the same. In our case, 4 is less than 5, therefore the value of 15 will remain the same.
Final Answer: 15
