Answer:
4(2)/(5)

Explanation:

Bearing in mind that a fraction is composed of a numerator (the number written above) and a denominator (number written below); An improper fraction is one in which the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.

Now, these types of fractions, which are representations of divisions with reminders can be expressed in the form of mixed numbers, and the way to approach it is as follows:

We have the this improper faction:
(22)/(5)

Where the numerator is
22 and the denominator is
5

If we divide
22 by
5 the result is
4 with a reminder of
2.

Then, we have to write the result as an integer, with the reminder in the numerator and keeping the denominator:


4(2)/(5)
