Question

Convert 13/8 to a mixed number

Answer 1

1whole and 5/13 and it can't be simplified

Answer 2

Given:
13/8

First you have to see how many times 8 can go into the number 13. If you look, 8 can only go into 13 one time, leaving 5 left over.
13-8 = 5
1 with 5 left over
(Rather than writing 8/8, you must simplify to 1 to make it less redundant)

Since there is 5 left over from 8, you would then place it into the numerator place to get:
1 5/8

I hope this helps!
