In order to make [tex] \frac{83}{9}[/tex] a mixed number we would have to divide. [tex] \frac{83}{9}[/tex] as a mixed number is [tex] 9 \frac{2}{9}[/tex]. Check:[tex]9 \frac{2}{9}= \frac{9*9+2}{9}= \frac{83}{9}[/tex]. Therefore, [tex] \frac{83}{9} [/tex] as a mixed number is [tex]\boxed{9 \frac{2}{9}}[/tex]. Hoped I helped. :)
