Explanation:

To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, follow these steps:
1)Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.
2)Add that to the numerator.
3)Then write the result on top of the denominator.

So you in your question 0.5 2/5
Multiply the whole part that is .5 with denominator that is 5

So it will be
0.5*5=2.5

Then add this figure to the numerator
That is 2
So it will be
2.5+2=4.5
This is the figure you will write on the numerator
Thus it will be
4.5/5
To remove decimal from numerator multiply both numerator and denominator this 10 as follows

4.5/5*10/10

That is 45/50

Simplify it It by dividing by 5

So the answer will be 9/10
