Write \( \frac{13}{5} \) as a mixed number.

To convert \( \frac{13}{5} \) into a mixed number, divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (5). When you do that, 5 goes into 13 two times, which gives you a quotient of 2. Now, take 2 and multiply it back by 5 to find the remainder: \( 2 \times 5 = 10 \). Finally, subtract that from the original numerator: \( 13 - 10 = 3 \). Putting it all together, we get \( 2 \frac{3}{5} \). To keep your mixed numbers neat, always ensure the fraction part is reduced. In this case, \( \frac{3}{5} \) is already in its simplest form, so \( 2 \frac{3}{5} \) is ready to shine!
