Steps to convert 60/12 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 60/12 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 [60]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

60 ÷ 12 = 5 = 5

(Quotient of 5 and a remainder of 0)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [0].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [5] and multiplying it by the original denominator [12]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [60]:

60 - (5 × 12)

=

60 - 60 = 0

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [0] and put it above the original denominator [12], and then put the whole number [5] before it

5

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 60/12 to the mixed number 5.
