Answer 1

To write three and two fifths

Solution:

Three is a whole number and two-fifths is a proper fraction

`\begin{gathered} \text{Thr}ee\text{ = 3} \\ Two-fifths=(2)/(5) \\ \text{Thr}ee\text{ and two-fifths = 3}(2)/(5) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, three and two-fifths as a mixed number is;

`3(2)/(5)`

As an improper fraction,

`\begin{gathered} 3(2)/(5)=((5*3)+2)/(5) \\ =(15+2)/(5) \\ =(17)/(5) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, three and two-fifths as an improper fraction is 17/5.
