Question #e8868

Answer 1

You can write this in infinitely many ways, but the simplest one is `frac 5 1`

Explanation:

There could be more, like,

`frac 2.5 0.5`

or

`frac 10 2`

and you can divide and multiply both numerators and denominators by the same number to get `5` as a fraction.

This is the definition of a rational number. A number which can be written as a fraction.

Any fraction will do:

`25/5 = 55/11, 200/40,` etc

Answer 2

`A = 5/1`

Explanation:

In order to write any whole number as a fraction, all we need to do is to place the whole number as the numerator and the denominator as `1`, which means that the expression will read:

`5` divided by `1`.

Which is the whole number.

All the best!

Answer 3

There are infinite possibilities but we are going to look at a few examples!

Explanation:

`5/1`, `10/2`, `15/3`, `20/4`, `15/5`...so on.

So, if you want 5 as a fraction, it has to be a fraction where if you divide the numerator by the denominator, then the quotient (answer) should be 5. Try doing what I just told you with the fractions in the starting of the explanation. Your quotient should be 5 for all of them. So that means that they are all different examples of 5 as a fraction!

My source is my mind.
