Answer:
no, the numerator and denominator are switched around
Step-by-step explanation:
lets convert 1 2/5 into an improper fraction first:
5 x 1 = 5
5 + 2 = 7
numerator : 7 denominator : 5
Step-by-step explanation:
no.
1 = 1/1 = 1/1 × 5/5 = 5/5
1 2/5 = 5/5 + 2/5 = 7/5
NOT 5/7.
just think in general :
1 2/5 must be larger than 1.
but 5/7 is smaller than 1.
