Question

write \\(\frac{14}{3}\\) as a mixed number. \\(\frac{14}{3} = \square \frac{\square}{\square}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

Divide 14 by 3. \( 14 \div 3 = 4 \) with a remainder of 2, since \( 3\times4 = 12 \) and \( 14 - 12 = 2 \).

Step2: Form the mixed number

A mixed number is formed as \( \text{Quotient} \frac{\text{Remainder}}{\text{Divisor}} \). So here, the quotient is 4, the remainder is 2, and the divisor is 3. Thus, \( \frac{14}{3}=4\frac{2}{3} \).

Answer:

\( 4\frac{2}{3} \) (So the boxes should be filled with 4, 2, and 3 respectively, in the order of whole number, numerator of the fraction, and denominator of the fraction.)
