15/12 in mix number

Answer 1

To convert the improper fraction \( \frac{15}{12} \) into a mixed number, follow these steps:

1. Divide the numerator (15) by the denominator (12).
2. The quotient is the whole number part, and the remainder is the numerator of the fraction part.

Performing the division:

• \( 15 \div 12 = 1 \) with a remainder of \( 3 \).

So, you can express \( \frac{15}{12} \) as:

• Whole number: \( 1 \)
• Remainder: \( 3 \)

Now, the remaining fraction is \( \frac{3}{12} \), which can be simplified to \( \frac{1}{4} \) (since both 3 and 12 can be divided by 3).

Thus, the mixed number for \( \frac{15}{12} \) is: \[ 1 \frac{1}{4} \]
