Explanation

Answer

Problem

Convert Improper fraction \$20/8\$ to Mixed fraction.

Step

Given Improper fraction is

\$20/8\$

Step

Divide the numerator with the denominator

\$20\div8\$

Step

You will get values of quotient(q) and remainder(r)

q=2,r=4

Formula:

\$"Mixed fraction"\$ = \$"Whole number" + "Numerator" /"Denominator"\$

\$2 4/8\$

Hint

Quotient becomes whole - 2, remainder is numerator - 4, and divisor is denominator - 8.

Tip

Whole number has to match
Fraction has to match

SumUp

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

Choice.A

This is incorrect because it suggests that the remainder after dividing 20 by 8 is 5, but the remainder is actually 4

\$21/8\$

Choice.B

The calculation is accurate as obtaining \$20/8\$ is correct when dividing the numerator by the denominator.

\$2 4/8\$

Choice.C

This is incorrect because it doesn’t follow the rules of converting an improper fraction to a mixed fraction. The fractional part should have a numerator less than the denominator

\$2 8/4\$

Choice.D

This is incorrect because the whole number part is incorrect. The whole number part should be 2, not 4

\$4 2/8\$
