Answer 1

Required; To express the improper fraction in mixed fraction or whole number.

Step 2

To do this we divide 130 by 5, write the quotient, and then the remainder over 5

`\begin{gathered} (130)/(5)=26\text{ the remainder is 0} \\ \text{Therefore, we write; 26}(0)/(5) \\ \text{But }(0)/(5)=0 \\ \text{Therefore, we will write just 26} \end{gathered}`

Hence,

`(130)/(5)=26,\text{ a whole number}`

Answer;
