How do you convert each improper fraction to a mixed fraction: 116/15?

Question

undefined Great question! Let’s break it down step by step.

1. **Identify the numerator and denominator**: You have 116 (numerator) and 15 (denominator).

2. **Divide the numerator by the denominator**: 
   - What is 116 divided by 15?

3. **Find the whole number**: 
   - How many times does 15 fit into 116?

4. **Calculate the remainder**: 
   - What is left over after fitting those whole 15s into 116? Use this formula: 
     $$
     \text{Remainder} = \text{Numerator} - (\text{Whole} \times \text{Denominator})
     $$

5. **Write it as a mixed number**: 
   - Combine the whole number and the remainder over the denominator.

Can you try to do the division and find the whole number? What do you get?

You find out how many wholes can be made:

Divide 116 by 15, and only look for the whole number: #116/15=7.7333# The whole number part is #7# for which you needed: #7xx15=105# times 1/15. There are still #116-105=11# times 1/15 left. Answer: #=7 11/15#

undefined To convert the improper fraction $ \frac{116}{15} $ to a mixed fraction, you divide the numerator (116) by the denominator (15). The quotient becomes the whole number part of the mixed fraction, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fractional part. So, $ \frac{116}{15} $ as a mixed fraction is $ 7\frac{11}{15} $.
