Convert 238 to a mixed number.

Answer 1

To convert 238 to a mixed number, we need to divide the number by its whole number part.

First, we divide 238 by 10:
238 ÷ 10 = 23 remainder 8

So, the whole number part is 23.
To get the fractional part, we put the remainder over the divisor (10):
8/10.

Simplifying the fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
8 ÷ 2 = 4
10 ÷ 2 = 5

Therefore, 8/10 is equal to 4/5.

Putting it all together, 238 can be expressed as the mixed number:
23 4/5.
