Step 1
A Mixed Fraction is a fraction which can be expressed as the sum of a whole number and a
proper fraction.

Step 2
177
We have an improper fraction wherein 177 > 13, which means 177 must be divided into 13
13
equal parts.

Step 3
177
In order to convert the improper fraction into mixed fraction, let us divide the numerator 177
13
by the denominator 13:
Dividend↴
Divisor→ 13 ) 1 7 7 ( 13 ←Quotient
1 3

4 7
3 9

Remainder← 8

Step 4
After dividing 177 by 13, we get remainder = 8, quotient = 13 and the divisor = 13.

Step 5
Remainder
A mixed fractions is represented as: Quotient
Divisor
177 8
Thus, can be written as: 13

Step 1
Let us look at the place values of all the digits to the left of the decimal point:
Place value of 1 = 1000
Place value of 2 = 200
Place value of 2 = 20
Place value of 1 = 1

Step 2
Now let us look at the place values of the digits to the right of the decimal point:

Step 1
Let us first count the number of cubes along the length, breadth and the height.

Step 2
Along the length, there are 2 cubes, along the breadth there are 4 cubes, and along the height
there are 5 cubes.

Step 3
The total number of cubes in the given box will be 2 × 4 × 5 = 40.

Step 4
Counting the number of cubes. We get,
Number of cubes that are visible in the picture shown below = 28.
Therefore, the number of cubes not visible will be equal to 40 - 28 = 12.

Step 5

(15) greater

Step 1
A fraction is a number representing a part of a whole. The whole may be a single object or a group
of objects.
Improper fractions are a type of fractions wherein the numerator is greater than the denominator.
For example, 7/5 is an improper fraction.
On the other hand, the fractions wherein the denominator is greater than the numerator are called
proper fractions. For example, 1/5.

Step 2
The following illustrations will help us understand how different types of fractions are different from
one another.

From the above diagrams, we can conclude that 7/5 is greater than 1.

Step 3
Hence, improper fractions are greater than 1.
