Explanation:
Use a calculator or long division to find that 47/3 = 15.667
Erase the decimal portion to get 15
Then note how 15*3 = 45, which is 2 short of 47.
This means 47/3 = 15 remainder 2.
The remainder 2 portion forms the numerator of the fractional part of the mixed number.
The improper fraction 47/3 converts to the mixed number 15 & 2/3
---------------
Here's another way to do the problem
47/3 = (45+2)/3
47/3 = 45/3 + 2/3
47/3 = 15 + 2/3
47/3 = 15 & 2/3
