Answer 1

To convert the improper fraction \( \frac{126}{19} \) to a mixed number, we first divide the numerator by the denominator.

1. Divide 126 by 19.
- \( 126 \div 19 = 6 \) remainder \( 12 \) (since \( 19 \times 6 = 114 \) and \( 126 - 114 = 12 \)).

2. The whole number part is \( 6 \), and the remainder is \( 12 \).

3. Thus, we write the mixed number as:
\[
6 \frac{12}{19}
\]

So the correct answer is:
**6 and 12/19**.
