Answer 2

Answer:

(B) 2¼  

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number.

Step 1. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

Divide 9 by 4: 9÷4 = 2r1 (2 with a remainder of 1).

Step 2. Find the whole number

The whole number is the number in front of the remainder (2)

Step 3. Find the fraction.

The remainder is 1, and the denominator is still 4, so the fraction is ¼.

Step 4. Write the mixed number.

Combine the whole number and the fraction.

The mixed number is 2¼.
