Grade 4 students practice mixed numbers and improper fractions using eighths and tenths denominators, recognizing 5/8 as proper, 13/8 as 1 5/8, and 17/10 as 1 7/10. The page mixes sentence-correction repairs, fill-in conversions both directions, and two short-answer prompts that ask learners to name the parts of each conversion. Every why-note ties back to the Grade 4 idea that quotient becomes the whole number and remainder stays on top of the fraction.

Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
5/8 written as a mixed number is 1 5/8.
Rewrite: 5/8 is a proper fraction and equals 0 5/8 (just 5/8).
2. Fix the sentence:
13/8 equals 2 3/8 as a mixed number.
Rewrite: 13/8 equals 1 5/8 as a mixed number.
3. Fix the sentence:
17/10 written as a mixed number equals 2 7/10.
Rewrite: 17/10 written as a mixed number equals 1 7/10.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Convert 11/8 to a mixed number: 1 3 /8.
2. Convert 19/10 to a mixed number: 1 9 /10.
3. The mixed number 2 1/8 equals the improper fraction 17 /8.
4. The mixed number 3 3/10 equals the improper fraction 33 /10.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Show a Grade 4 step for converting 13/8 into a mixed number, naming each part.
Divide 13 by 8 to get 1 remainder 5, so 13/8 = 1 5/8 — one whole and five eighths.
2. Why is 5/8 NOT a mixed number, while 13/8 IS one, in Grade 4 terms?
5/8 is proper because 5 < 8, so it's less than 1; 13/8 is improper, so it can be written as 1 5/8.
