11/4 = 2 3/4 = 2 30/40
19/8 = 2 3/8 = 2 15/40
2 3/5 = 2 24/40
For 2 3/5 how did you get the answer 2 24/40 since it already has the whole number on 2 3/5. Do you put the whole number when you divide?
Yes. I changed 3/5 to 24/40 so the fractions would have a common denominator.
So is the answer 11/4
No. Please reread the question.
How can I find out which fraction is the closest to 2 hours?
All of those numbers are over two hours. Which has the smallest fraction?
3/8?
Right.
