You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5\frac{2}{5}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 5\frac{2}{5} = \frac{27}{5} = 5.4 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{1}\) and \(\frac{2}{5}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} 5\frac{2}{5} &= \frac{5 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{2 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{25 + 2}{5} \\ &= \frac{27}{5} \end{aligned} \]
