Steps to convert 48/5 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 48/5 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 [5] goes into the numerator [48]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

48 ÷ 5 = 9.6 = 9

(Quotient of 9 and a remainder of 3)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [3].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [9] and multiplying it by the original denominator [5]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [48]:

48 - (9 × 5)

=

48 - 45 = 3

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [3] and put it above the original denominator [5], and then put the whole number [9] before it
