Answer:


(6)/(5) or
1(1)/(5)

Explanation:


(2)/(5) *3

3 can be rewritten as 3/1


=(2)/(5)*(3)/(1)

Multiply the numerators and denominators


2*3=6\\5*1=5


= (6)/(5)

You can also change this into a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator and writing the remainder as the numerator:


= 1(1)/(5)

I hope this helps!
