To convert the improper fraction 13/12 into a mixed number, we start by dividing the numerator (13) by the denominator (12).
When we divide 13 by 12, we get 1 as the whole number since 12 fits into 13 just once with a remainder. The remainder here is 1 (because 13 – 12 = 1).
Now, we can express this as a mixed number. The whole number part is 1, and the fractional part is formed by taking the remainder (1) over the original denominator (12). Therefore, we write it as:
1 1/12
So, 13/12 as a mixed number is 1 1/12.
