Answer 1

To convert the improper fraction \( \frac{13}{5} \) to a mixed number:

1. Divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (5).

   • \( 13 \div 5 = 2 \) (whole number part)
   • Remainder: \( 13 - (5 \times 2) = 3 \)

2. Write the mixed number using the whole number and the remainder over the original denominator:

   • The whole number is 2, and the remainder is 3, giving us \( \frac{3}{5} \).

Therefore, \( \frac{13}{5} \) as a mixed number is \( 2 \frac{3}{5} \).

So the correct response is: 2 3/5.
