5 X 3/4 as a Mixed Number

Answer: In mixed number form, 5 x 3/4 is written as 3 3/4

Explanation: When multiplying a whole number by a fraction, multiply the whole number by the numerator, keeping the denominator the same.

Here, 5 x 3 = 15, and the denominator remains 4, so we have 15/4.

Now, convert 15/4 to a mixed number: 15 ÷ 4 = 3 with a remainder of 3.

The quotient becomes the whole number part.

The remainder becomes the numerator, and the denominator remains the same.

Here, whole number (quotient) = 3 Numerator (remainder) = 3 Denominator = 4

So, 15/4 = 3 3/4

• Improper Fraction: A fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator, for example, 15/4.

• Proper Fraction: A type of fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator, for example, 1/2, 3/4.

• Multiplication of Fractions: The process of multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together.

• Mixed Number: A number that combines a whole number and a proper fraction, for example, 3 3/4.

• Whole Number: An integer equal to or greater than zero that does not contain a decimal value or a fraction.
