A. [tex]\(30 \frac{5}{3}\)[/tex]
B. [tex]\(30 \frac{3}{5}\)[/tex]
C. [tex]\(5 \frac{3}{30}\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\(3 \frac{3}{5}\)[/tex]



Answer :

To convert the improper fraction [tex]\(\frac{153}{5}\)[/tex] to a mixed number, follow these steps:

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator to find the whole number part of the mixed number.
[tex]\[ 153 \div 5 = 30 \quad \text{(whole number part)} \][/tex]

2. Calculate the remainder when the numerator is divided by the denominator.
[tex]\[ 153 \mod 5 = 3 \quad \text{(remainder)} \][/tex]

3. Form the mixed number by combining the whole number and the remainder over the original denominator. Thus, the mixed number is:
[tex]\[ 30 \frac{3}{5} \][/tex]

Given the options:
- [tex]\(30 \frac{5}{3}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(30 \frac{3}{5}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(5 \frac{3}{30}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(3 \frac{3}{5}\)[/tex]

The correct mixed number is [tex]\(30 \frac{3}{5}\)[/tex].

Therefore, the answer is [tex]\( \boxed{30 \frac{3}{5}}\)[/tex].
