What is a Mixed Number?
A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction. It is used to represent a value that is greater than one whole unit, but not quite enough to be the next whole unit. For example, 2 1/2 is a mixed number because it represents two whole units and one-half of another unit.
