Ok well if you divide 5÷2 it equals 2.5 and that written as a fraction is 5/2 or 2 1/2 either way she isn't correct he would complete 5/2 of a problem or [2.5 or 2 1/2]

No!
Because I don't know but I tried:
2/5= 0.4 and 3/5= 0.6, they are not equal so if Yvonne says he did 2/5 of a problem each minute, and then she will be correct!
