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:

$\frac{25}{5} = \frac{55}{11} , \frac{200}{40} ,$ etc

$A = \frac{5}{1}$

#### 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!

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

#### Explanation:

$\frac{5}{1}$, $\frac{10}{2}$, $\frac{15}{3}$, $\frac{20}{4}$, $\frac{15}{5}$...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.
