Answer
$2\frac{1}{2}$
Work Step by Step
To convert $\frac{5}{2}$ into a mixed number or whole number, we must first divide the numerator by the denominator.
$5\div2=2$ with a remainder of 1
The quotient will be the whole number part of the mixed number, and the remainder will be the numerator of the fraction part. The denominator will stay the same.
Therefore, $5\div2=2\frac{1}{2}$.
