Here are a few recommended readings before getting started with this lesson.
A mixed number consists of a non-zero integer number and a proper fraction.
First, identify the integer part of the mixed number. This is the integer number written before the fraction.
Next, multiply the integer part by the denominator of the fraction. In this case, the denominator of the fraction is 9.Recall that a mixed number consists of an integer part and a proper fraction. The integer part is equal to the quotient of the improper fraction. In this case, it is 5.
Now the numerator and denominator of the fraction part will be identified. The numerator is equal to the remainder of the division from the first step. In this case, the reminder is 1 and becomes the numerator of the fraction part.
Note that the numerator must be less than the denominator since the fraction part of a mixed number is a proper fraction. The denominator is the same as the denominator of the improper fraction. Therefore, its value is 4.
The numerator is less than the denominator, so the fraction is indeed a proper fraction. Finally, finding the mixed number corresponding to 421 is complete.
Convert the given mixed number into the corresponding improper fraction or the other way around — the given improper fraction into a mixed number. If the improper fraction corresponds to an integer number, leave the fraction fields empty. Do not simplify the fraction part in a mixed number.
The number 0.56 can be read as 56 hundredths.
There are two decimal places.
564 thousandths,it can be written as 564 over 1000.
A fraction can have a denominator that is a power of 10. Consider a few examples.
Fraction | 107 | 10026 | 1000782 |

In that case, the procedure of the long division of the numerator by the denominator is not the best way to go. Instead, the fraction can be rewritten directly as a decimal. First, count how many zeros each denominator has.
Fraction | 107 | 10026 | 1000782 |
