Answer 1

Answer:

5/2 =

$2)5(2 \\ - 4 \\ = 1$

2 1/2

In word we say 2 whole 1 by 2

Answer 2

Given,

The given fraction is :

$\frac{5}{2}$

To find,

To convert the given fraction into a mixed fraction.

Solution,

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

Now, the given fraction is an improper fraction. (because numerator is greater than denominator)

We can turn any improper fraction, into mixed fraction by the following method -

$improper \: \: fraction = \frac{a}{b } \: \: \: \: (a > b)$

Now, we have to divide the numerator (a) by denominator (b), and in this division :

Divisor = Initial denominator = b

Quotient = c (say)

Remainder = d (say)

Then,

$mixed \: \: fraction = c \frac{d}{b}$

Similarly,

From the given improper fraction(⁵/₂), we will be dividing the Numerator (5) by Denominator (2). We will get -

2)5(2

ㅤ1

Divisor = Initial denominator = 2

Quotient = 1

Remainder = 1

So, mixed fraction :

= 2½

Hence, the mixed fraction will be 2½
