Define mixed number in your own words. Then, write an example

1 answer

A mixed number is a type of fraction that consists of a whole number and a proper fraction combined together. It represents a quantity that is larger than one, but not a whole number.

Example: 3 1/2

In this example, the whole number is 3 and the fraction is 1/2. The mixed number 3 1/2 means three and a half, which lies between the whole numbers 3 and 4.
