Answer: 1 and 5/7
Step-by-step explanation: To write an improper fraction as a mixed number,
divide the denominator into the numerator.
So here, we have 7 divided into 12.
7 divides into 12 one time, 1 × 7 is 7, and 12 - 7 is 5.
So 7 divides into 12 one time with a remainder of 5.
So we have 1 whole and 5 out of 7 parts or 1 and 5/7.
So the improper fraction 12/7 can be written
as the mixed number 1 and 5/7.
