Given the fraction:
32/9
Write as a mixed number.
Solution:
In order to write the fraction as a mixed number, we must first equate it as a decimal. This can be done by dividing the numerator with the denominator.
= 32/9
= 3.5556…
Now to convert the decimal into mixed number, we exclude first the whole number and focus of the decimal. Since we have a repeating fraction, we take one place value which is 5, and divide it with its place value, in our case we choose to divide 5 by the place value of 10 subtracted by 1 in order to have a repeating decimal.
= 5/(10 - 1)
= 5/9
Add the the whole number in front of the fraction.
= 3 5/9
Final answer:
= 3 5/9
