\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf Convert \ 2(1)/(2) \ to \ an \ improper \ fraction. Use \ this \ rule: a (b)/(c)=(ac+b)/(c). \end{gathered}$}


\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{(2*5+1)/(5)*(3)/(5) \ \ \longmapsto \ \ [Multiply \ 2*5] } \end{gathered}$}


\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{(10+1)/(5)*(3)/(5) \ \ \longmapsto \ \ [Add \ 10+1] } \end{gathered}$}


\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{(11)/(5)*(3)/(5)} \end{gathered}$}


\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{Use \ this \ rule:(a)/(b) * (c)/(d)=(ac)/(bd) . } \end{gathered}$}


\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{(11*3)/(5*5) \ \ \longmapsto \ \ \ [Multiply] } \end{gathered}$}
