To find a value that is less than \( 1 \frac{3}{5} \), we can convert the mixed number into an improper fraction or a decimal. 1. First, convert \( 1 \frac{3}{5} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{5 \times 1 + 3}{5} = \frac{5 + 3}{5} = \frac{8}{5} \] 2. Now, we can look for any number that is less than \( \frac{8}{5} \). For example: - \( 1.5 \) (which is equal to \( \frac{3}{2} \)) is less than \( \frac{8}{5} \) since \( \frac{3}{2} = \frac{7.5}{5} < \frac{8}{5} \). - Alternatively, \( 1 \) (or \( \frac{5}{5} \)) is less than \( \frac{8}{5} \). So, you can fill in the blank with any number less than \( 1.6 \) (the decimal equivalent of \( 1 \frac{3}{5} \)). For example: \( 1 \), \( 1.5 \), or \( 1.2 \) are valid choices.

whats the answer

An example of a number that is less than \( 1 \frac{3}{5} \) (or \( 1.6 \)) is:

\( 1 \)

This is a simple and correct answer. Other valid answers include \( 1.5 \), \( 1.4 \), \( 1.2 \), etc. But \( 1 \) is a straightforward choice.
