To convert the improper fraction \( \frac{11}{4} \) to a mixed number, you divide the numerator (11) by the denominator (4).
- Divide 11 by 4, which goes 2 times (because \( 4 \times 2 = 8 \)).
- Subtract 8 from 11, which leaves a remainder of 3.
So, you can express \( \frac{11}{4} \) as:
\[ 2 \frac{3}{4} \]
Thus, the mixed number is 2 3/4.
