Answer 2

`10(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

`5(4)/(10) *2`
`=10(4)/(5)`

First:

Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.

Reduce fractions where possible.

Then your initial equation becomes:

`(27)/(5) *(2)/(1)`

Applying the fractions formula for multiplication

`(27*2)/(5*1)`

`=(54)/(5)`

`10(4)/(5)`
`=10(8)/(10)`
