Mixed numbers are a way to represent amounts that are more than a whole number but not quite another whole number. They combine a whole number with a fraction. For example, 1 ½ means 1 whole and ½, showing a number between 1 and 2. Mixed numbers are helpful when we need to measure or describe something that doesn’t fit perfectly into whole numbers, like sharing 3 pizzas equally among 2 people. Each person would get 1 ½ pizzas!
By using mixed numbers, we can easily describe quantities in between whole amounts. They’re common in cooking, measuring, and dividing objects in real life. Understanding how to read and write mixed numbers makes it easier to solve everyday math problems. Download our guide for clear examples and practice to master mixed numbers!
