how can I get the solution in a mixed number

Answer provided by our tutors

You need to simplify 99/16.

If you have a numerator greater than the denominator (99>16), the fraction is known as an improper fraction, which means the number is not in its simplest form.

So first you need to divide 99:16 and see that:

99 = 6*16 + 3 

Now, if we divide both sides by 16 we get:

99/16 = 6 + 3/16

That is 99/16 equals the mixed number 6 3/16.
