To convert the mixed number \(1 \frac{3}{5}\) into an improper fraction, you can follow these steps: 1. Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (5): \[ 1 \times 5 = 5 \] 2. Add the result to the numerator (3): \[ 5 + 3 = 8 \] 3. Write the result over the original denominator: \[ \frac{8}{5} \] So, \(1 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{8}{5}\).
