Question

Write 2 3/5 as an improper fraction

Answer 1

2 3/5 as an improper fraction would be 13/5

In order to get that you first multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (5) and get 10

Then you add the numerator (3) to the number you just got (10) which is 13 and that becomes your numerator and you keep 5 as your denominator.

Answer 2

$2\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{2\cdot5+3}{5}=\dfrac{13}{5}$

Multiply the denominator by the whole and add to the numerator
