Question 105753: Change the fraction to a mixed or whole number. 58/7
help please. Do i just divide the 7 into 58?

Answer by HyperBrain(694)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First divide 58 by 7.
You'll get a quotient of 8 and a remainder of 2.
Now, set up the quotient(8) as the whole number and the remainder(2) as the numerator of the fractional part. Since in the original fraction, 7 is the denominator, 7 also must be the denominator of the fractional part.

Therefore,
58/7=8 2/7

Power up,
