Question

next round! follow the three clues to find a hidden treasure. write each answer as a mixed number. clue 1: start at 3 and add \\(\frac{2}{5}\\). \\(3 + \frac{2}{5} = \boxed{?} \frac{?}{?}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mixed number addition

To add a whole number and a fraction, we combine them into a mixed number. The whole number part remains the same, and we attach the fraction.
So, \(3+\frac{2}{5}\) can be written as a mixed number where the whole number is 3 and the fraction is \(\frac{2}{5}\).

Step2: Form the mixed number

Combining 3 (the whole number) and \(\frac{2}{5}\) (the fraction) gives the mixed number \(3\frac{2}{5}\).

Answer:

\(3\frac{2}{5}\) (In the boxes, the first box is 3, the numerator box is 2, and the denominator box is 5)
