Write 129/13 as a mixed number.

Answer 1

To convert the improper fraction \( \frac{129}{13} \) into a mixed number, you can follow these steps:

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator: \[ 129 \div 13 = 9 \quad \text{(this is the whole number part)} \]

2. Calculate the remainder: \[ 129 - (13 \times 9) = 129 - 117 = 12 \quad \text{(this is the remainder)} \]

3. Write it as a mixed number: The mixed number will be the whole number part plus the remainder over the original denominator: \[ 9 \frac{12}{13} \]

So, \( \frac{129}{13} \) as a mixed number is \( 9 \frac{12}{13} \).
