Question

\\(\frac{13}{5} = 1\frac{8}{5}\\)
is shawnas answer correct?
no, because \\(\frac{8}{5}\\) is a fraction greater than 1.
write \\(\frac{13}{5}\\) as a mixed number.
\\(\frac{13}{5} = \boxed{?} \frac{\boxed{?}}{5}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (5). \( 13 \div 5 = 2 \) with a remainder of \( 13 - (5\times2) = 3 \).

Step2: Form the mixed number

The quotient (2) becomes the whole number part, the remainder (3) becomes the numerator of the fractional part, and the denominator (5) remains the same. So, \( \frac{13}{5} = 2\frac{3}{5} \).

Answer:

\( \frac{13}{5} = \boldsymbol{2}\frac{\boldsymbol{3}}{5} \) (The first box is 2, the second box is 3)
