How do you write #27/4# as a mixed number?

Answer 1

#6 3/4#

We can start by seeing how many times #4# goes into #27# evenly.

#4# goes in #6# times. This will be our whole number. #4*6# is #24#, and we have #3# left over (#27-24#). This will be our numerator, and our denominator will stay the same.

Our mixed number is:

#6 3/4#
