Steps to convert 45/10 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 45/10 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [4] and multiplying it by the original denominator [10]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [45]:

45 - (4 × 10)

=

45 - 40 = 5
