Explanation:

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

To convert the improper fraction $\frac{9}{4}$ to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (9) by the denominator (4). So, $9 \div 4 = 2$ with a remainder of $1$ (since $4\times2 = 8$ and $9 - 8 = 1$).

Step2: Form the mixed number

A mixed number is written as the quotient (the whole number part) followed by the remainder over the original denominator. So, the mixed number is $2\frac{1}{4}$.

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{4}$
