Okay, so I wanted to figure out how to write 11/9 as a mixed number. I’ve got this improper fraction, right? And I need to make it look a little neater.
Starting Out
First, I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. I like to do things the old-fashioned way sometimes. It just helps me think better.
The Division Part
I started by dividing 11 by 9. I mean, that’s the core of it, isn’t it?
- I asked myself, “How many times does 9 go into 11?”
- Well, 9 goes into 11 once, with a little bit left over.
Finding the Remainder
So, 9 goes into 11 one time. I wrote down the “1” as the whole number part of my mixed number. Then I figured out the remainder:
- I multiplied: 1 (the whole number) times 9 (the denominator) which is 9.
- Then I subtracted that from the numerator: 11 – 9 = 2.
Putting It All Together
That remainder, 2, became the numerator of the fractional part of my mixed number. The denominator? I kept that the same, so it stayed as 9.
The Final Result
And there it is! I put it all together, and I got 1 2/9. That’s 11/9 as a mixed number. It was not that hard, I completed it!
