17\/ 2 as a mixed number. Give your answer in its simplest form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To express 172\\frac{17}{2}217\u200b as a mixed number, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Divide the numerator (17) by the denominator (2)<\/strong>: 17\u00f72=8\u00a0remainder\u00a0117 \\div 2 = 8 \\text{ remainder } 117\u00f72=8\u00a0remainder\u00a01 This tells us that 17 can be divided into 8 whole parts, with a remainder of 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Write the whole number part<\/strong>:
    The quotient from the division is 8, so the whole number part of the mixed number is 8.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Write the remainder as a fraction<\/strong>:
    The remainder is 1, and the denominator is the same as the original denominator, which is 2. Therefore, the fractional part is 12\\frac{1}{2}21\u200b.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, the mixed number form of 172\\frac{17}{2}217\u200b is:8128 \\frac{1}{2}821\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Mixed number<\/strong>: A mixed number consists of a whole number and a proper fraction. It represents a quantity greater than or equal to 1 but less than the next whole number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Simplifying<\/strong>: The fraction 12\\frac{1}{2}21\u200b is already in its simplest form because 1 and 2 have no common factors other than 1. Hence, there is no need to simplify further.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Why this works:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      By dividing 17 by 2, you find how many whole parts fit into 17 (which is 8). The remainder (1) represents the leftover part, and it is expressed as a fraction of the original divisor (2). Combining the whole part and the fractional part gives the final mixed number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So, the mixed number equivalent of 172\\frac{17}{2}217\u200b is 8128 \\frac{1}{2}821\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
