Answer: [tex]\dfrac{17}{5}[/tex] miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We can express a mixed fraction as an improper fraction.
The process is as follows:
[tex]a\dfrac{b}{c}=\dfrac{ac+b}{c}[/tex]
The given mixed number = [tex]3\dfrac25[/tex] miles
This can be represented as
[tex]3\dfrac25=\dfrac{3\times5+2}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{15+2}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{15+2}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{17}{5}>1[/tex]
Hence, the required fraction= [tex]\dfrac{17}{5}[/tex] miles
