Convert improper fraction \$33/8\$ into a mixed fraction.

Step: 1

Given Improper Fraction \$33/8\$.
Firstly, Divide the numerator 33 by the denominator 8.

$1a$

Explanation:

In this step, we have an improper fraction \$33/8\$. Here, divide the numerator (33) by the denominator (8) to get the whole number part and the remainder, i.e., \$33/8\$.

Step: 2

By dividing, we get 4 as a quotient(q), leaving the remainder(r) as 1.

\$"Mixed Fraction" = "Whole Number" + "Numerator"/"Denominator"\$.

$2a$

Explanation:

Now, dividing 33 by 8, we get 4 as the quotient which is a whole number, 1 as the remainder, which is the numerator, and 8 as the denominator.

Hence, converting the improper fraction \$33/8\$ into a mixed fraction equals \$4 1/8\$.
