Trying to find the right answer to an improper fraction as a mixed number 4 / 3.

All you have to do is divide the numerator ( 4 ) by the denominator ( 3 )

The answer to ...

4 ÷ 3 

Would turn into your mixed number :)

Or a better way to look at it is how many times can 3 go into 4 ?

1 time

and how much was left over that the 3 couldn't fill ?

1

Now what you do with is put it over 3 ( the original denominator )

And you get ...

1  1/3

One and one third
