Question

Convert into mixed numbers- a) 26\15 b) 134\10

Answer 1

Answer:

covertion of mixed numbers = 1) 1 11/15 2) 13 4/10

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 26/15

1st step is to divide 26/15. You'll get your quotient as 1 and reminder as 11. If you've got this far, then you are doing it right.

2nd step is to make your mixed fraction. So there are certain rules one should follow while converting improper fractions to mixed fractions. The quotient, ie, 1 becomes the whole number. Your reminder, ie, 11 becomes the numerator. Your divisor, ie, 15 becomes the denominator.

Hence, your answer should be : 1 11/15

b) If you follow the above rules, ie:

1. Dividing

2. Quotient=Whole number

3. Reminder- Numerator

4. Divisor- Denominator

So, follow the above rules and you'll get your mixed fraction. However, here is your answer- 13 4/10

Here is how you can verify if your answer is right/not-

1. Multiply the whole number and denominator.

2. Add the product with the numerator.

And now the answer you've gotten is considered to be the numerator.

3. The denominator in the mixed fraction is your denominator while verifying as well.

And now you have your numerator and denominator.

Now arrange it in the form of a fraction and if this fraction is the same as the one in your question, then your answer is right.

That's it!
