how can you write 31/6 as a mixed number
\(31/6 = 5 \frac{1}{6}.\)
Count how many times 6 goes into 31 that is 5. Remainder 1. Which means \(5 \frac{1}{6}\)
Yes, you can. First, you need to find how many times does 6 fits on 31. The nearest whole number in the multiplication table of 6 to 31, is 30 (6x5). So, you subtract that from 31.
31-30= 1
You have a remainder of 1/6.
Now, write the times 6 fits into 31 being a whole number plus the remainder.
5 1/6
