v) $\frac{22}{5}$

Answer 1

Step: Expressing improper fractions as mixed fraction.
To convert an improper fraction into a mixed fraction, we have to divide the numerator by the denominator and it can be written in mixed fraction as follows:

$Mixedfraction=quotient\frac{Remainder}{Divisor}$

Therefore, dividing 22 by 5 we get


Here, the quotient is 4 and the remainder is 2.
Thus, the given fracation with divisor as 5 can be written in mixed form as:$4\frac{2}{5}$

$\therefore$ $\frac{22}{5}$ is equal to the mixed fracation $4\frac{2}{5}$.
