Question

write \\(\frac{5}{4}\\) as a mixed number. \\(\frac{5}{4} = \square \frac{\square}{4}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

Divide 5 by 4. \( 5 \div 4 = 1 \) with a remainder of 1.

Step2: Form the mixed number

The quotient (1) becomes the whole number part, the remainder (1) becomes the numerator of the fractional part, and the denominator (4) remains the same. So, \( \frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4} \).

Answer:

The first box is 1 and the second box is 1, so \( \frac{5}{4} = \boldsymbol{1}\frac{\boldsymbol{1}}{4} \)
