Finding the Mixed Number Form of 14/5: Step-by-Step Solution

The number $\frac{14}{5}$ is found...

Let's try to understand what is larger and what is smaller than the number $\frac{14}{5}$.

Since the denominator is 5, both the larger and smaller numbers will also have a denominator of 5:

$\frac{?}{5}<\frac{14}{5}<\frac{?}{5}$

Now let's complete the numerators with numbers that will help us reach whole numbers in the fractions as follows:

$\frac{10}{5}<\frac{14}{5}<\frac{15}{5}$

Let's then simplify the fractions as follows:

$\frac{10:5}{5:5}=\frac{2}{1}=2$

$\frac{15:5}{5:5}=\frac{3}{1}=3$

Therefore, the answer is:

$2<\frac{14}{5}<3$
