Steps to convert 55/28 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 55/28 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 [28] goes into the numerator [55]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

55 ÷ 28 = 1.96 = 1

(Quotient of 1 and a remainder of 27)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [27].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [1] and multiplying it by the original denominator [28]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [55]:

55 - (1 × 28)

=

55 - 28 = 27

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [27] and put it above the original denominator [28], and then put the whole number [1] before it

55
