If your problem is a fraction I can help… 1 5/7

So first you gotta convert 2 2/5 into and improper fraction which gives you 12/5. Which brings you to 12/5 x 5/7, you’re gonna wanna cross cancel the most common factor which is the number 5 and that leaves you to build up the fraction 12/7. Now you wanna convert your improper fraction to a mixed number, and you do that by putting it in long division form otherwise said as 12 divided by 7 which leaves you with 1 and a remainder of 5. 1 5/7 is your answer
