Answer:

Mixed Fraction: [tex]5\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Improper Fraction: [tex]\frac{26}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\mathrm{Rewrite\:as}[/tex]

[tex]=5+0.2[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Convert\;0.2\;to\;a\;fraction}:\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]=5+\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]=5\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Convert\:mixed\:numbers\:to\:improper\:fraction:}\:a\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\cdot \:c+b}{c}[/tex]

[tex]5\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5\cdot 5+1}{5}=\frac{26}{5}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{26}{5}[/tex]

Hello!

First, let's convert 5.2 into a fraction:

[tex]\bf{5\displaystyle\frac{2}{10} }[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\bold{5\displaystyle\frac{1}{5}}[/tex]

We turned this number into a mixed number.

That's why it's mixed - we have a whole number and a fraction.

Now, convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

Step 1: Multiply the whole number times the denominator.

5×5=25

Step 2: Add the numerator.

25+1=26

The denominator stays the same.

Therefore, the answer is

[tex]\bold{\displaystyle\frac{26}{5}}[/tex]

Hope everything is clear.
