Question

What is 1 and 2/5 as an Improper faction in its simplest form

Answer 1

The fraction is:

7/5

Explanation:

The number we're given is:

`\large\pmb{1(2)/(5)}`

To convert it into an improper fraction, we first multiply the whole number part (1) times the denominator (5). Then, we add 2, the numerator. We get 7.

That is the numerator of the improper fraction. As for the denominator, we just copy it.

`\pmb{(7)/(5)}`

Therefore, the answer is 7/5.

Answer 2
