2x4/5=

Answer 1

`1 (3)/(5)`

Explanation:

The first step is to multiply the numbers of the numerator. Thus:

`(2 * 4)/(5)`

`= (8)/(5)`

Writing the answer above as the product of a whole number and unit fraction (that is, mixed number), 5 goes in 8 1 time remainder 3. Therefore:

`= (8)/(5) = 1 (3)/(5)`
