To convert the improper fraction 25/3 into a mixed number, we start by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Here, 25 is divided by 3.
When we perform the division, 25 ÷ 3 gives us 8 as the whole number part (since 3 fits into 25 eight times), and we have a remainder of 1 (because 3 × 8 = 24, and 25 – 24 = 1).
Thus, we can express 25/3 as the mixed number 8 and 1/3. In conclusion, 25/3 can be written as the mixed number 8 1/3.
