15/11 to a mixed number
How to write 15/11 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [15] is greater than the denominator [11]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 15/11 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 15/11 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:
1. Find the whole number. First we need to calculate how many times the denominator [11] goes into the numerator [15]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
15 ÷ 11 = 1.36 = 1
(Quotient of 1 and a remainder of 4)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [4].
You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [1] and multiplying it by the original denominator [11]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [15]:
15 - (1 × 11)
=15 - 11 = 4
3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [4] and put it above the original denominator [11], and then put the whole number [1] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 15/11 to the mixed number 1 4/11.
