Flashcard 5 - Math Flashcard Set for the NLN NEX

a fraction in which the numerator is larger than the denominator

One example is \(\frac{32}{3}\). The process for converting an improper fraction to a mixed number involves dividing the numerator by the denominator, as shown here:

\[\frac{32}{3}\]

So, we have \(32 \div 3 = 10\) with a remainder of \(2\).

This gives us the whole number \(10\).

The remainder becomes the new numerator, so the new mixed number is:

\[10 \frac{2}{3}\]
