To express \( 11 \frac{9}{18} \) as a mixed number in simplest form, we first simplify the fractional part \( \frac{9}{18} \).

  1. Simplify \( \frac{9}{18} \):

    • The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 9 and 18 is 9.
    • Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD: \[ \frac{9 \div 9}{18 \div 9} = \frac{1}{2} \]
  2. Now, we replace \( \frac{9}{18} \) with \( \frac{1}{2} \) in the mixed number: \[ 11 \frac{9}{18} = 11 \frac{1}{2} \]

Thus, \( 11 \frac{9}{18} \) as a mixed number in simplest form is \( 11 \frac{1}{2} \).

so its 11 1/2

Yes, that's correct! \( 11 \frac{9}{18} \) simplifies to \( 11 \frac{1}{2} \). Therefore, it can be expressed as \( 11 \frac{1}{2} \).
