Steps to convert 54/5 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 54/5 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 [54]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

54 ÷ 5 = 10.8 = 10

(Quotient of 10 and a remainder of 4)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [4].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [10] and multiplying it by the original denominator [5]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [54]:

54 - (10 × 5)

=

54 - 50 = 4

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [4] and put it above the original denominator [5], and then put the whole number [10] before it

54
5
=10
4
5

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 54/5 to the mixed number 10 4/5.
