Answer:
5/2 = 2 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 parts in one half, meaning 2 halves equals 1.
If you have 5 halves, you of course would get an improper fraction.
To find the answer, dive the numerator by the denominator. 5 ÷ 2 gives you 2.5, or 2 1/2.
Think about it this way: How many times does will 2 go in to 5 evenly? Twice. 2 times 2 is 4, leaving you with one left over. Whatever the remainder is, is the numerator for the improper fraction, and the denominator stays the same.
