Question

How do you
Write
29/9
as a mixed number.

Answer 1

To write an improper fraction a mixed number you start by seeing how many times the denominator (bottom number) goes in to the numerator (top number). Since the denominator is 9 and the numerator is 29, 9 goes into 29 3 times. The left over numbers become the fraction of which is in simplest form.
3 x 9 = 27
29 - 27 = 2

Mixed number: 3 2/9

Answer 2

29 = 3 x 9 + 2

$\frac{29}{9}=3\frac{2}{9}$
