To write the mixed number 2 5 as a fraction, you start by converting it into an improper fraction.
First, take the whole number part, which is 2, and multiply it by the denominator of the fractional part, which is 5. This gives you:
2 × 5 = 10
Next, you add that result to the numerator of the fractional part, which doesn’t have a specified numerator in the question. Assuming you meant the fraction to be 2 5/1, you would simply add 5 (the numerator) to 10:
10 + 5 = 15
Now, you place this result over the original denominator, which is 5.
The improper fraction is:
15/5
So, the mixed number 2 5 can be written as the improper fraction 15/5. If you just meant the number 2 and the whole number 5, it can also be represented as:
2 + 5 = 7
Which would simply be 7/1 as a fraction.
