Answer:

The answer is A. 3 3/5 and B. 2 8/5

:D

Step-by-step explanation:

It couldn't be 5/18 because that is less than the fraction

And it could not be 3 because 5 (the denominator) times 3, is not 18 (numerator), it is 15.

SO.... now that we narrowed those answers down we have to look at the mixed fractions..

3 3/5 into an improper fraction would be 18/5 because 3/5 is 15, plus 3 is 18.

2 8/5 into an improper fraction would be 18/5 because 2x5 is 10, plus 8 is 18.

therfore A and B are your answers, hope this helps!

Sorry for answering like, 3 years late Hahaha.
