Which mixed number is equivalent to the improper fraction 35/8? Responses 2 7/8 2 and 7 over 8 3 5/8 3 and 5 over 8 4 3/8 4 and 3 over 8 5 3/4

Answer 1

To convert the improper fraction \( \frac{35}{8} \) to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator.

1. Divide \( 35 \) by \( 8 \):

   • \( 35 \div 8 = 4 \) R \( 3 \) (4 whole parts and a remainder of 3).

2. The whole number part is \( 4 \).

3. The fractional part is the remainder (3) over the original denominator (8), which gives us \( \frac{3}{8} \).

Putting it all together, the mixed number is \( 4 \frac{3}{8} \) or \( 4 \) and \( 3 \) over \( 8 \).

Thus, the correct answer is 4 3/8 or 4 and 3 over 8.
