Explanation:

To express the mixed number 2 and 4/5 in its lowest terms, you can convert it to an improper fraction first and then simplify:

2 and 4/5 can be written as an improper fraction:

2 and 4/5 = 2 + 4/5

To convert to an improper fraction, you need a common denominator, which is 5 in this case:

2 + 4/5 = (2 * 5)/5 + 4/5

Now, add the fractions:

(10/5) + (4/5) = 14/5

So, 2 and 4/5 is equivalent to the improper fraction 14/5 in its lowest terms.
