Hi there, to turn a fraction into a mixed number we divide the numerator by the denominator, write down the whole number, and then right down the remainder. In this case, we divide the numerator which is 12 and 8 which is the denominator which is 8, 12 divided by 8 equals 1.5, 1 will be the whole number, 4 will be the numerator, and 8 will be the denominator. So, we get 1 4/8. Therefore, 12/8 as a mixed number is 1 4/8.
