Description

This image is a variation of the previous one, now showing the conversion of 12/5 to 2 2/5. It displays the step-by-step process of dividing 12 by 5 to get 2 with a remainder of 2, which then becomes the numerator of the fractional part.

This representation builds on the previous example, helping students see how the process works with larger numbers. It reinforces the concept that the whole number part of a mixed number comes from how many times the denominator goes into the numerator.

Teachers can use this image to provide more practice with converting improper fractions to mixed numbers and to discuss how the size of the numerator affects the result.

Teacher's Script: "Now let's look at converting 12/5 to a mixed number. We divide 12 by 5, which gives us 2 with a remainder of 2. This becomes 2 2/5. How is this similar to the previous example? What would happen if we had 17/5 instead?"
