How to write 19/5 as a mixed number

Answer: 3 and 4/5

Step-by-step explanation: To write an improper fraction as a mixed number, we divide the denominator into the numerator.

So in this problem, we divide 5 into 17.

5 divides into 19 three times.

3 x 5 is 15 and 19 - 15 is 14.

So 5 divides into 3 times with a remainder of 4.

In other words, we have 3 wholes and 4 out of 5.

We keep the same denominator.

So our mixed number is 3 and 4/5.

19/5

3 (4/5)

3 (4/5) is the answer
