Today we are going to be converting improper fractions into mixed numbers
MALT©2006 Maths/Fractions Slide Show : Lesson 1

5. MALT©2006 Maths/Fractions Slide Show : Lesson 1
Does anyone have an idea how we do this?

6. MALT©2006 Maths/Fractions Slide Show : Lesson 1
Well to work it out we divide the numerator by the denominator
MALT©2006 Maths/Fractions Slide Show : Lesson 1

7. The bottom number always stays the same
Like this 3 16 5 1 5
This number becomes the numerator
16 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 1
The bottom number always stays the same

8. 2 Lets try another one 12 2 5 5 12 ÷ 5 = 2 r 2
This number becomes the numerator
12 ÷ 5 = 2 r 2

9. And another 6 1 3 17 3
This number becomes the numerator
17 ÷ 3 = 6 r 1

10. MALT©2006 Maths/Fractions Slide Show : Lesson 1
Another one 3 11 3 2 3
11 ÷ 3 = 3 r 2

11. Last one 4 23 5 3 5
23 ÷ 5 = 4 r 3

12. MALT©2006 Maths/Fractions Slide Show : Lesson 1
Remember divide the numerator by the denominator
