Convert improper fraction to mixed number

Convert the improper fraction \(\frac{7}{2}\) to a mixed number.
Divide the numerator by the denominator:

$$7 \div 2 = 3 \text{ remainder } 1$$

The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder is the new numerator.

$$\frac{7}{2} = 3\frac{1}{2}$$

The image shows the step:
"Step 1: Make sure all values to be compared are mixed numbers."
Below it, we have:

$$7 \div 2 = 3\text{ r } 1$$

Followed by a fraction line with a blank box for the mixed number representation of \(\frac{7}{2}\).
The mixed number is \(3\frac{1}{2}\).
