Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [159] is greater than the denominator [20]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 159/20 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 159/20 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 [20] goes into the numerator [159]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
159 ÷ 20 = 7.95 = 7
(Quotient of 7 and a remainder of 19)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [19].
You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [7] and multiplying it by the original denominator [20]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [159]:
159 - (7 × 20)
=159 - 140 = 19
3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [19] and put it above the original denominator [20], and then put the whole number [7] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 159/20 to the mixed number 7 19/20.
