Answer:

The answer is
5(1)/(10) and
(51)/(10).

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=(1)/(10)

Putting it together we have:


5(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=(50)/(10)

Fractional part 2:
0.1=(1)/(10)

Improper fraction:
(50)/(10)+(1)/(10)=(51)/(10)

The answer is
5(1)/(10) and
(51)/(10).
