33/3 to a mixed number
How to write 33/3 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [33] is greater than the denominator [3]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 33/3 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 33/3 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 [3] goes into the numerator [33]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
33 ÷ 3 = 11 = 11
(Quotient of 11 and a remainder of 0)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [0].
You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [11] and multiplying it by the original denominator [3]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [33]:
33 - (11 × 3)
=33 - 33 = 0
3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [0] and put it above the original denominator [3], and then put the whole number [11] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 33/3 to the mixed number 11.
