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:

25/5 = 55/11, 200/40, etc

A = 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:

5/1, 10/2, 15/3, 20/4, 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.
