Question

rewrite \\(\frac{17}{8}\\) as a mixed number.

Explanation:

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

Divide 17 by 8. \( 17 \div 8 = 2 \) with a remainder of \( 17 - (8\times2) = 1 \).

Step2: Form mixed number

A mixed number is \( \text{Quotient} \frac{\text{Remainder}}{\text{Divisor}} \). So, \( \frac{17}{8} = 2\frac{1}{8} \).

Answer:

\( 2\frac{1}{8} \)
