To use a number bond to rewrite a fraction as a mixed fraction, you first need to understand what a number bond is. A number bond is a visual representation that shows how a number is composed of parts.
For example, if you have the fraction 7/3, you can use a number bond to represent it as 2 + 1/3. Here's how:
1. Divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (3) to find how many whole parts there are. In this case, 7 divided by 3 equals 2 with a remainder of 1.
2. Write down the quotient (2) as the whole number part of the mixed fraction.
3. Write down the remainder (1) as the numerator of the fraction part.
4. The denominator of the fraction part remains the same as the original denominator (3).
So, 7/3 can be rewritten as the mixed fraction 2 1/3.
