What is 4 as a mixed number:

Answer: In mixed number form, 4 can be written as 4 0/1

 

Explanation: To express a whole number as a mixed number, consider that the whole number can be paired with a fraction that has a numerator of 0 and a denominator of any non-zero number. This does not change the value of the whole number.

 

In this case, since there is no fractional part, 0 becomes the numerator, and 1 is a simple choice for the denominator. Here, whole number = 4 Numerator = 0 Denominator = 1

 

So, 4 = 4 0/1
