    How to write 55/12 as a Mixed Number?

    Answer

    The fraction 55/12 as a mixed number is
    4 7/12

    Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [55] is greater than the denominator [12]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):

    55
    12
    =4
    7
    12

    Steps to convert 55/12 to a mixed number

    In order to convert our improper fraction 55/12 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 [12] goes into the numerator [55]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

    55 ÷ 12 = 4.58 = 4

    (Quotient of 4 and a remainder of 7)

    2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [7].

    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 [12]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [55]:

    55 - (4 × 12)

    =

    55 - 48 = 7

    3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [7] and put it above the original denominator [12], and then put the whole number [4] before it

    55
    12
    =4
    7
    12

    That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 55/12 to the mixed number 4 7/12.
