Express 210/8 as a mixed number.

• A. 26 1/4
• B. 26 3/4
• C. 26
• D. 25 2/8

Answer: (A)

When turning an improper fraction into a mixed number, you see how many times the denominator fits into the numerator and what’s left over as a fraction. For 210 divided by 8, 8 goes into 210 twenty-six times (since 8 × 26 = 208), with a remainder of 2. That gives the mixed number 26 and 2/8. It’s standard to simplify the fractional part, and 2/8 reduces to 1/4. So the mixed number is 26 1/4, which is also the decimal 26.25.
