Answer 2

The improper fraction for $1\frac{5}{8}$ would be $\frac{13}{8}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

• An inappropriate/improper fraction is one in which the numerator is higher than the denominator.

In order to calculate $1\frac{5}{8}$ as an improper fraction, we'd perform the following steps:

Step 1: Multiply the numerator by the number in the denominator.

⇒ $8\times1=8$

Step 2: To the numerator, add the solution from Step 1.

⇒ $8+5=13$

Step 3: Overwrite the denominator with the solution from Step 2.

⇒ $\frac{13}{8}$

So, to mention it in a simplified format:

⇒ $\frac{(8\times1 +5)}{8}=\frac{13}{8}$

Hence, the answer is $\frac{13}{8}$
