#2 4/5 = (5xx2+4)/5 = 14/5#

#2 4/5 = 14/5#

Remember there are five fifths in every whole number.

So in #2# there are #2 xx 5 = 10# fifths

There are also #4/5# extra so altogether: #10+4=14# fifths.

Notice the method:

#2 4/5 = (5xx2+4)/5 = 14/5#

#14/5#

Because #ab/c = (a*c +b)/c#
So, #2 4/5 = 14/5#
