Explanation:

In this step, we have an improper fraction \$33/8\$. Here, 33 is the numerator and 8 is the denominator.

Step: 2

First, divide the numerator (33) by the denominator (8).
The result is a quotient (q) of 4 with a remainder (r) of 1.

$2a$

Explanation:

In this step, divide the numerator (33) by the denominator (8) to determine the whole number part and the remainder. Dividing 33 by 8 results in a quotient of 4 with a remainder of 1, where 1 becomes the new numerator and 8 remains the denominator.

Step: 3

Combine the quotient and the fraction to form the mixed fraction: Mixed fraction = \$"Whole number"\$ + \$"Numerator"/"Denominator"\$

$3a$
