Correct Answer

$4\frac56$

Explanation

To write \(\frac{29}{6}\) as a mixed number, divide 29 by 6

$
\require{enclose}
\begin{array}{r}
4 \\[-3pt]
6 \enclose{longdiv}{29} \\[-3pt]
\underline{-24} \\[-3pt]
5 \\[-3pt]
\end{array}

The whole number part is 4

Write the remainder 5 over the divisor 6 to get the fractional part

Thus, \(\frac{29}{6} = 4\frac56\)
