Question

Convert 23/4 into mixed fraction

Answer 1

We recall mixed fraction

A mixed number can be expressed as a whole number and a proper fraction together.

Given:

The given number is $\frac{23}{4}$

When we divide $23$ by $4$ we get

quotient as $5$ and the remainder as $3$

Thus, we can write

$\frac{23}{4}=5\frac{3}{4}$

Mixed fraction is$5\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 2

Given: An improper fraction $\frac{23}{4}$

To find: Mixed fraction of the given fraction

Solution:

The given fraction is:  $\frac{23}{4}$

To convert the given improper fraction to mixed fraction, we need to divide 23 by 4.

We know that,

∵ $Dividend = Divisor \ * \ Quotient \ + \ Remainder$

and mixed fraction is in the form:

∵ ${Quotient}\frac{Remainder}{Divisor}$

On dividing 23 by 4, we get

∵ $23 = 4 \ * \ 5 \ + \ 3$

i.e., Dividend = 23, divisor = 4, Quotient = 5 and Remainder = 3

So,  $\frac{23}{4}$ can be expressed as $5\frac{3}{4}$

Hence, mixed fraction of   $\frac{23}{4}$  is   $5\frac{3}{4}$ .
