Question

now, write \\(\frac{8}{5}\\) as a mixed number. complete the equation. \\(\frac{8}{5}=\frac{5}{5}+\frac{3}{5}\\) \\(=\boxed{?}\frac{3}{5}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify \(\frac{5}{5}\)

We know that \(\frac{5}{5}\) is equal to \(1\) because any non - zero number divided by itself is \(1\).

Step2: Substitute the simplified value

Since \(\frac{8}{5}=\frac{5}{5}+\frac{3}{5}\) and \(\frac{5}{5} = 1\), then \(\frac{8}{5}=1+\frac{3}{5}\), which is written as the mixed number \(1\frac{3}{5}\).

Answer:

\(1\)
