Question

convert this improper fraction to a mixed number.
\frac{81}{5}
enter the denominator.
16 \frac{1}{?}

Explanation:

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

Divide 81 by 5. $81 \div 5 = 16$ with a remainder of 1, since $5 \times 16 = 80$ and $81 - 80 = 1$.

Step2: Form the mixed number

A mixed number is formed as $ \text{Quotient} \frac{\text{Remainder}}{\text{Denominator}} $. Here, the quotient is 16, the remainder is 1, and the denominator remains 5 (same as the improper fraction's denominator). So the mixed number is $16\frac{1}{5}$.

Answer:

5
