    How to write 85/2 as a Mixed Number?

    Answer

    The fraction 85/2 as a mixed number is
    42 1/2

    Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [85] is greater than the denominator [2]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):

    85
    2
    =42
    1
    2

    Steps to convert 85/2 to a mixed number

    In order to convert our improper fraction 85/2 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 [2] goes into the numerator [85]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

    85 ÷ 2 = 42.5 = 42

    (Quotient of 42 and a remainder of 1)

    2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [1].

    You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [42] and multiplying it by the original denominator [2]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [85]:

    85 - (42 × 2)

    =

    85 - 84 = 1

    3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [1] and put it above the original denominator [2], and then put the whole number [42] before it

    85
    2
    =42
    1
    2

    That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 85/2 to the mixed number 42 1/2.
