The quotient 44/5 as a mixed number is 8 4/5, obtained by dividing 44 by 5 to get 8 with a remainder of 4, then combining the whole number 8 with the fraction 4/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To express the quotient 44/5 as a mixed number, we need to divide 44 by 5. Dividing 44 by 5, we get 8 with a remainder of 4. Therefore, the mixed number is 8 4/5.

Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Divide 44 by 5, which equals 8 with a remainder of 4.
2. The quotient represents the whole number part of the mixed number, which is 8.
3. The remainder becomes the numerator of the fractional part, and the divisor stays as the denominator, giving us 4/5.
4. Combine the whole number and the fraction to form the mixed number: 8 4/5.
