Steps to convert 25/2 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 25/2 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 [2] goes into the numerator [25]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

25 ÷ 2 = 12.5 = 12

(Quotient of 12 and a remainder of 1)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [1].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [12] and multiplying it by the original denominator [2]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [25]:

25 - (12 × 2)

=

25 - 24 = 1

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [1] and put it above the original denominator [2], and then put the whole number [12] before it

25

=12

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 25/2 to the mixed number 12 1/2.
