Question

Write the following numbers in the form $\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{q}}$ where $\mathrm{q}$ is a positive integer.

$4\frac{2}{5}$

Answer 1

As we can see given number is a mixed fraction form, so we have to convert it into fraction or $\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{q}}$ form.

So,

$$\begin{gathered} 4\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4\times 5+2}{5} \\ =\frac{20+2}{5} \\ =\frac{22}{5} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $\frac{22}{5}$ is in the form $\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{q}}$ where $5$ is a positive integer.
