Here are the conversions of the improper fractions to mixed numbers:

a) Convert 54\frac{5}{4} to a mixed number.

Step 1: Divide the numerator (5) by the denominator (4). 5÷4=1 with a remainder of 15 \div 4 = 1 \text{ with a remainder of } 1

Step 2: Write the mixed number using the whole number, remainder, and original denominator. 54=114\frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4} The mixed number is 114\boxed{\mathbf{1\frac{1}{4}}}.

b) Convert 215\frac{21}{5} to a mixed number.

Step 1: Divide the numerator (21) by the denominator (5). 21÷5=4 with a remainder of 121 \div 5 = 4 \text{ with a remainder of } 1

Step 2: Write the mixed number using the whole number, remainder, and original denominator. 215=415\frac{21}{5} = 4\frac{1}{5} The mixed number is 415\boxed{\mathbf{4\frac{1}{5}}}.

c) Convert 3210\frac{32}{10} to a mixed number.

Step 1: Divide the numerator (32) by the denominator (10). 32÷10=3 with a remainder of 232 \div 10 = 3 \text{ with a remainder of } 2

Step 2: Write the mixed number using the whole number, remainder, and original denominator. 3210=3210\frac{32}{10} = 3\frac{2}{10}

Step 3: Simplify the fractional part of the mixed number. Both 2 and 10 are divisible by 2. 3210=32÷210÷2=3153\frac{2}{10} = 3\frac{2 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = 3\frac{1}{5} The mixed number is 315\boxed{\mathbf{3\frac{1}{5}}}.
