    Okay so 11.8 as a improper fraction is 
    59
    ---
     5 
    but we want that as a mixed number so how many times does 5 go into 59? 11 times right. soooooo, so far our whole number is 11...... but 5 times 11 is 55  so how many remain? well
    59 - 55 = 4  so lets write out our fraction 
          4 
    11  ----    or 4/5 could be also 8/10s its just simplified 
          5
    the bottom number stays the same!
    hope this helps explain more clearly:)

    Both 11 and 4/5 or 11 and 8/10 are correct answers:)
