What is a 1 whole plus 2 over 5?

1 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 over 5 = 2/5

1 whole = 1/1

first you should get the two fractions to have a common denominator

the common denominator is 5

1/1 times 5/5 = 5/5

now add 2/5 and 5/5

2/5 + 5/5 = 7/5 or as mixed number it will be 1 2/5

Another way to do this is:

you could just write this as mixed fraction

think that 2/5 is 0 2/5

just add the 1 to 0, so the answer is 1 2/5

We can write this as 1 + 2/5

= 5/5 + 2/5 (1 is the same as 5/5)

= 7/5 or 1 2/5

Best of Luck!
