To convert the improper fraction \(\frac{15}{4}\) into a mixed number, follow these steps:

  1. Divide the numerator (15) by the denominator (4).

    \(15 \div 4 = 3\) with a remainder of \(3\).

  2. The quotient (3) is the whole number part of the mixed number.

  3. The remainder (3) becomes the numerator of the fractional part, and the denominator remains the same (4).

Putting this together, the mixed number is:

\[ 3 \frac{3}{4} \]

So, \(\frac{15}{4}\) as a mixed number is \(3 \frac{3}{4}\).
