Solve: Multiplying 2 Times the Fraction 5/7

$2\times\frac{5}{7}=$

To solve this problem, we'll multiply the whole number 2 by the fraction $\frac{5}{7}$:

• Step 1: Multiply the numerator 5 by the whole number 2:

$2 \times 5 = 10$

• Step 2: Write the result over the original denominator 7:

$\frac{10}{7}$

• Step 3: Convert $\frac{10}{7}$ to a mixed number:

Since 10 divided by 7 is 1 with a remainder of 3, we can express this as:

$1\frac{3}{7}$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\textbf{1}\frac{\textbf{3}}{\textbf{7}}$.
