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

$2 4/5 = 14/5$

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, $2 4/5 = 14/5$
