Answer 1

Mixed:5 1/10

improper fraction: 51/10

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is $5\frac{1}{10}$ and $\frac{51}{10}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to understand that a mixed number is a number represent by an integer and a fractional form, this is:

Integer part: $5$

Fractional part: $0.1=\frac{1}{10}$

Putting it together we have:

$5\frac{1}{10}$

Now for the improper fraction, we have that this kind of fractions represent a number in a fractional form were the numerator is higher than the denominator. For this we can represent the number by to fractions and then add them:

Fractional part 1: $5=\frac{50}{10}$

Fractional part 2: $0.1=\frac{1}{10}$

Improper fraction: $\frac{50}{10}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{51}{10}$

The answer is $5\frac{1}{10}$ and $\frac{51}{10}$.
