Write as a mixel number.

18/5 = [?] [?]/[?]

1 answer

To convert the fraction \( \frac{18}{5} \) into a mixed number, you can follow these steps:

  1. Divide the numerator (18) by the denominator (5).
  2. The integer part of the result will be the whole number, and the remainder will be the numerator of the fractional part.

Calculating this:

  • \( 18 \div 5 = 3 \) (whole number part)
  • The remainder is \( 18 - (5 \times 3) = 18 - 15 = 3 \) (remainder)

Thus, the mixed number is:

\[ 3 \frac{3}{5} \]

So, \( \frac{18}{5} = 3 \frac{3}{5} \).
