first way: To transform into an improper fraction just follow a practical process: Repeat the denominator and multiply its value with the integer part and sum with the numerator.


1 (3)/(5) = (5*1+3)/(5) = (5+3)/(5) = \boxed{\boxed{(8)/(5)}} \end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

second way: Let's sum the whole part with the fractional part and then do the least common multiple, then solve and find the solution.


1 + (3)/(5) = (5)/(5) + (3)/(5) = \boxed{\boxed{(8)/(5) }}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark
