Answer:

3 4/5

Explanation:

19/5 is improper because the numerator is larger to the denominator. If we round 19 down to 15 and divide 15 by 5 we get 3 but we still have 4 left because of how we rounded it. Let me explain this a little bit smaller.

19 fits into five three times, and that leaves 4 left over, 19/5 = 3 & 4/5

( i just added the & sign so it didn't look like 34/5 )
