Solution

Solution Steps

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator to get the whole number part, and use the remainder as the numerator of the fractional part.

Step 1: Identify the Improper Fraction

The given improper fraction is $ \frac{5}{4} $.

Step 2: Divide the Numerator by the Denominator

To convert $ \frac{5}{4} $ into a mixed number, we perform the division: \[ 5 \div 4 = 1 \quad \text{(whole number part)} \] The remainder from this division is: \[ 5 \mod 4 = 1 \]

Step 3: Form the Mixed Number

The mixed number can be expressed as: \[ 1 \frac{1}{4} \]
