Step-by-step explanation:
Mixed Fractions
Mixed fractions are made of an integer part followed by a proper fraction.
Some examples of mixed fractions are:
3 1/2, -4 5/8, 2 2/3
Between two consecutive integers a and a+1, there are infinitely many fractions. The centered number is a 1/2. Any number with its improper fraction part less than 1/2 is closer to a than to a+1.
In our problem, Jayne bought between 2 and 3 pounds of granola. We need to provide a mixed number that is closer to 2 pounds than to 3 pounds.
We can select any number with integer part 2 and a proper fraction less than 1/2.
Examples could be :
2 1/3, 2 1/4, 2 3/7
All of them are less than 2.5
