Period:
Mixed → Improper
Multiply denominator by whole, add numerator: \(2\frac{3}{4} = \frac{(4 \times 2) + 3}{4} = \frac{11}{4}\)
Improper → Mixed
Divide numerator by denominator (Remainder = numerator): \(\frac{13}{5} = 13 \div 5 = 2\text{ R}3 = 2\frac{3}{5}\)

4 Spot the Error: Error Analysis
Analyze and correct
Jordan converted \(\frac{23}{5}\):
\(23 \div 5 = 4\text{ R}3 \;\longrightarrow\; 3\frac{4}{5}\)
“I found the quotient and remainder, then wrote my mixed number!”
1. What was Jordan’s mistake?
2. What is the correct mixed number?
