=13/5is the answer

Answer 2

Given,

The mixed number (mixed fraction) = 2⅗

To find,

Conversion from mixed number (mixed fraction) to improper fraction.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here, we have to apply the following rule :

$a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{(a \times c) + b}{c}$

In the given mixed number (or, mixed fraction) :

a = 2

b = 3

c = 5

By, applying the previously mentioned rule, we get that,

= 2⅗

$= \frac{(2 \times 5) + 3}{5}$

$= \frac{10 + 3}{5}$

$= \frac{13}{5}$

(Here, numerator is greater than denominator, so it is an improper fraction. That's why, this will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the improper fraction will be ¹³/₅
