The way to figure this out is to convert the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction being subtracted. Let's do this one. 1 - (5/12) = (12/12) - (5/12) = At this point, you have 12 over 12 minus 5 over 12, and to work a fraction like that where you have a common denominator, you can take the numerators and subtract them and put the result over 12. It will look like this: (12 - 5) / 12 = 7/12 That 7/12 is your answer. You don't even have to reduce it.
You cannot. By definition, a proper fraction is a number whose absolute value is between 0 and 1. There are no whole numbers between 0 and 1 so the number cannot be changed into a whole number. Also, since the absolute value is less than 1, it cannot be expressed as a mixed number.
A number can be called either a mixed number or a mixed fraction when it is a whole number with a fraction.
Any whole number can be converted to a fraction by putting it over 1.
4.25 isn't a whole number. You can change any whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1.
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part. The sign stays the same.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Convert the whole number to a fraction with a common denominator. Proceed with the subtraction.
A fraction can have non-zero whole number value when the improper fraction is such that the numerator is an exact (whole number) multiple (which is not zero) of the denominator will the fraction have a whole number value. for example 10/5 = (5×2)/(5×1) = 2/1 = 2 ÷ 1 = 2.
a fraction where the numerator and the denominator are of the same value
fraction
A term for a number that has no decimal or fraction is called a whole number.
A fraction is generally not a whole number, so you can't "make it into a whole" - any whole number would not have the same value. You can round a fraction to the nearest integer, if you like - but note that you would lose some precision if you do so.
It would be a mixed fraction, or simply a fraction.
There is no intrinsic fraction for MM. If something is measured as a whole number of MM then it is an integer value, not a fraction.
You can convert a whole number to an equivalent fraction by multiplying it by the denominator of the fraction you're subtracting 5 - 3/8 = 40/8 - 3/8 = 37/8 = 4 and 5/8
There is no such number. Any whole number can be turned into a fraction simply by writing it over 1. Or, writing twice its value over 2; or three times its value over 3.
2 - 1/5 is the same as (10/5) - 1/5 so it is 9/5 or 1 and 4/5 (1.8 as a decimal)
The answer can be another fraction and a whole number or it can be a whole number.
