$\frac{9}{10}$ $9/10$

Explanation:

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

So you in your question $0.5 \frac{2}{5}$ $0.5 2/5$
Multiply the whole part that is $.5$ $.5$ with denominator that is $5$ $5$

So it will be
$0.5 \cdot 5 = 2.5$ $0.5*5=2.5$

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

$\frac{4.5}{5} \cdot \frac{10}{10}$ $4.5/5*10/10$

That is $\frac{45}{50}$ $45/50$

Simplify it It by dividing by $5$ $5$

So the answer will be $\frac{9}{10}$ $9/10$
