2 6 = 3
Here there is no mixed number. This is because you can evenly divide 6 by 2. Mixed numbers come into play, when you can't divide the numerator evenly by the denominator. For example, 6 9 would be 1 2 1 .
6/2 = 3 Unless you don't reduce all the way you can't have mixed number with the problem above.
The expression 2 6 equals 3, which is a whole number. Since there is no remainder, it is not expressed as a mixed number. Mixed numbers include a whole part and a fraction, only arising when the division is not exact.
