How to write 55/16 as a Mixed Number?

Answer

The fraction 55/16 as a mixed number is 3 7/16

Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [55] is greater than the denominator [16]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):

55
16
=3
7
16

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:

1. Find the whole number. First we need to calculate how many times the denominator [16] goes into the numerator [55]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

55 ÷ 16 = 3.44 = 3

(Quotient of 3 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 [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 number. To complete our mixed number 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

55
16
=3
7
16

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 55/16 to the mixed number 3 7/16.
