Mixed number calculator

This computer performs basic and advanced operations with mixed numbers, fractions, integers, decimals. Mixed numbers are also called mixed fractions. A mixed number is a whole number and a proper fraction combined, i.e. 1 and iii-quarters. The estimator evaluates the expression or solves the equation with footstep-past-step adding progress information. Solve problems with two or more mixed numbers fractions in ane expression.

The result:

3 2/5 - 3/4 + 5 i/two = 163 / 20 = 8 3 / 20 = 8.15

Spelled result in words is eight and three twentieths (or i hundred 60-three twentieths).

Adding steps

  1. Conversion a mixed number 3 2 / 5 to a improper fraction: 3 ii/5 = 3 2 / 5 = 3 · 5 + ii / 5 = 15 + 2 / 5 = 17 / five

    To find a new numerator:
    a) Multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator v. Whole number 3 every bit 3 * 5 / 5 = 15 / five
    b) Add together the answer from previous pace 15 to the numerator two. New numerator is 15 + 2 = 17
    c) Write a previous reply (new numerator 17) over the denominator 5.

    Iii and 2 fifths is seventeen fifths

  2. Subtract: 17 / 5 - iii / 4 = 17 · 4 / 5 · 4 - three · 5 / four · 5 = 68 / 20 - 15 / xx = 68 - fifteen / twenty = 53 / 20
    It is suitable to arrange both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator for adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions. The common denominator you tin can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(5, iv) = 20. In practice, information technology is enough to discover the common denominator (not necessarily the everyman) by multiplying the denominators: 5 × iv = 20. In the post-obit intermediate step, information technology cannot further simplify the fraction consequence by canceling.
    In other words - seventeen fifths minus three quarters is fifty-iii twentieths.
  3. Conversion a mixed number 5 1 / ii to a improper fraction: 5 1/2 = v 1 / two = 5 · 2 + 1 / ii = x + ane / 2 = 11 / ii

    To find a new numerator:
    a) Multiply the whole number v past the denominator ii. Whole number 5 as v * 2 / two = 10 / 2
    b) Add the reply from previous step 10 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 10 + 1 = xi
    c) Write a previous respond (new numerator 11) over the denominator two.

    Five and one one-half is xi halfs

  4. Add: the result of pace No. 2 + 11 / 2 = 53 / 20 + 11 / 2 = 53 / 20 + xi · 10 / two · 10 = 53 / twenty + 110 / xx = 53 + 110 / twenty = 163 / 20
    Information technology is suitable to suit both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator for adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions. The common denominator you tin summate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(twenty, ii) = twenty. In do, it is enough to find the common denominator (non necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 20 × 2 = 40. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.
    In other words - fifty-three twentieths plus 11 halfs is 1 hundred lx-three twentieths.

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number is an integer and fraction a c b whose value equals the sum of that integer and fraction. For example, we write two and 4-fifths as 2 five iv . Its value is: two 5 iv = 2 + v 4 = 5 1 0 + 5 4 = 5 one four . The mixed number is the exception - the missing operand between a whole number and a fraction is not multiplication but an addition: 2 5 4 = 2 5 four . A negative mixed number - the minus sign as well applies to the fractional 2 five 4 = ( ii 5 four ) = ( two + 5 iv ) = 5 1 four . A mixed number is sometimes chosen a mixed fraction. Commonly, a mixed number contains a natural number and a proper fraction, and its value is an improper fraction, that is, one where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

How do I imagine a mixed number?

We tin can imagine mixed numbers in the instance of cakes. We take three cakes, and we have divided each into five parts. Nosotros thus obtained 3 * 5 = 15 pieces of cake. One-piece when nosotros eat, there are xiv pieces left, which is 2 v 4 of cake. When we eat two pieces, 2 5 iii of cake remains.
