Convert it (28/8) to a mixed number first.
I'll do another problem. Say you need to convert 45/6 to mixed numbers.
first dothe division - you have then 7 as quotient and 3 as remainder. Thus
45/6 = 7 3/6
Job is not finished yet. You can further reduce the fraction by dividing away the common factors (because 6 = 3*2)
45/6 = 7 3/6 = 7 1/2
Follow the exact same procedure. If you are still stuck - review the process at:

You have posted this question at least four times. Since you posted your other question only once, and the difference was that somebody gave you the answer to that one, it would appear that you haven't learned how to work with fractions, and are hoping we will complete your homework for you. I certainly hope this isn't the case, but you can understand how one might get this impression.
Please help us help you by replying, using what you were given (the complete worked solution to the other exercise, the link, your book, etc, etc), and showing us what you have tried and how far you have gotten. Then we'll have some idea where you are stuck, and what sort of help would be most efficacious.
Please be complete. Thank you!
