The Mixed Number Of #28/9# is #3 1/9#.

Explanation:

To convert from an irregular fraction to a mixed number, you divide the numerator using the denominator.

Once you are done dividing, you should:

  • Use the answer as the whole number
  • Use the reciprocal as the numerator
  • Keep the denominator like it is
  • If needed, simplify

#28/9#, if you divide it, is 3r1. Putting the numbers in the right place leads to the answer of #3 1/9#. We don't need to simplify because it is already simplified.

Hope this helped!
