Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder (if any) becomes the numerator of the fraction, with the same denominator.

In this case, 9 goes into 71 7 times with a remainder of 8. Therefore:

\frac { 71 } { 9 } = 7\frac{8}{9}

So the best choice is D.
