Determine how to get 1 2/5 from 14/10
Solution:
To change an improper fraction into a mixed number, we simply need to change first the fraction to decimal. This can be done by dividing the numerator with the denominator.
= 14/10
= 1.4
Exclude first the whole number, and focus on the decimal. Treat the decimal as a whole and divide it with the place value of the number, In our case we will divide 4 by 10 since it is in the tenths place value.
= 4/10
= 2/5
Add the whole number to the front of the fraction.
= 1 2/5
