Steps to convert 55/16 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 55/16 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 [3] and multiplying it by the original denominator [16]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [55]:

55 - (3 × 16)

=

55 - 48 = 7

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [7] and put it above the original denominator [16], and then put the whole number [3] before it
