To convert the improper fraction 11/3 into a mixed number, we first need to divide the numerator (11) by the denominator (3).
When we divide 11 by 3, we get:
- 3 goes into 11 a total of 3 times (since 3 x 3 = 9).
- This leaves us with a remainder of 2 (since 11 – 9 = 2).
So, we can express this as:
11 ÷ 3 = 3 R2
This division tells us that 11/3 can be written as a mixed number with a whole part and a fractional part. The whole part is 3, and the fractional part is the remainder (2) over the original denominator (3).
Putting it all together, 11/3 as a mixed number is:
3 2/3
Therefore, 11 3 as a mixed number is 3 2/3.
