To begin, notice that using your calculator, you can find:

Now, the closest even multiple of that is less than is . Therefore, you know that your number is:

This is the same as:

, or simply, . This is your mixed fraction.

Simplify the two fractions, then find a common denominator, then solve.

4 goes into 21 five times. 5 becomes your whole number. There is a remainder of 1 and your denominator remains the same, so your fraction is .

goes into five times with a remainder of

The denominator does not change.

Although there are many ways to convert improper fractions into mixed fractions, the easiest way is to use your calculator to your advantage. Begin by dividing by . This gives you . Therefore, you can eliminate all the options that have do not have for their first portion. Next, multiply by the denominator (), and get . This means that you have and , or . Thus, your answer is .

To convert a mixed number into a fraction, first divide the denominator into the numerator and record the remainder:

.

the result is the mixed number, with the remainder being put as the numerator over the old denominator:
when we reduce.
