Change the mixed number that contains an improper fraction into a mixed number in lowest terms:1 15/4
Explanation
To change a mixed number with an improper fraction into a mixed number in lowest terms, we need to divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator. In this case, the numerator is 15 and the denominator is 4. When we divide 15 by 4, we get a quotient of 3 with a remainder of 3. This means that the improper fraction 15/4 is equivalent to the mixed number 3 3/4. However, since the question asks for the answer in lowest terms, we simplify the mixed number to 4 3/4.Rate this question:
