To convert the improper fraction 22/7 into a mixed number, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator. This means we take 22 and divide it by 7.
Doing the division, we find that 7 goes into 22 three times, since 7 x 3 = 21. This gives us a whole number of 3. To find the remainder, we subtract 21 from 22, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Therefore, we can express 22/7 as a mixed number by combining the whole number and the remainder over the original denominator. This leads us to 3 with a remainder of 1, or expressed as a mixed number, it is:
3 1/7
So, 22/7 as a mixed number is 3 1/7.
