Explanation:

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

Divide 48 by 5. \( 48 \div 5 = 9 \) with a remainder of 3, because \( 5 \times 9 = 45 \) and \( 48 - 45 = 3 \).

Step2: Form the mixed number

A mixed number is written as \( \text{Quotient} \frac{\text{Remainder}}{\text{Divisor}} \). So here, the quotient is 9, the remainder is 3, and the divisor is 5. Thus, \( \frac{48}{5} = 9\frac{3}{5} \).

Answer:

\( 9\frac{3}{5} \)
