okay so 11.8 as a improper fraction is 59 --- 5 but we want that as a mixed number so how many times does 5 go into 59? 11 times right. soooooo, so far our whole number is 11...... but 5 times 11 is 55 so how many remain? well 59 - 55 = 4 so lets write out our fraction 4 11 ---- or 4/5 could be also 8/10s its just simplified 5 the bottom number stays the same! hope this helps explain more clearly:)
Both 11 and 4/5 or 11 and 8/10 are correct answers:)
