So,<br>15 \u00f7 4 = <strong>15\/4<\/strong><br>This is called an <strong>improper fraction<\/strong> because the numerator (15) is larger than the denominator (4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Convert to a Mixed Number<\/strong><br>A mixed number has two parts: a whole number and a proper fraction. To convert 15\/4 to a mixed number, divide 15 by 4:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4 goes into 15 <strong>3 times<\/strong> (because 4 \u00d7 3 = 12)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>remainder<\/strong> is 15 \u2212 12 = <strong>3<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So,<br><strong>15\/4 = 3 whole parts and 3 left over out of 4<\/strong>, which is:<br><strong>3 \u00be<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means 15 divided by 4 equals <strong>3 and \u00be<\/strong>.
