Hey there!

To find out how many hot dogs Jim should make, multiply 2/5 x 10 . . .

10 = 10/1 (since it is a whole number)
2/5 = 2/5

2 x 10 = 20
5 x 1 = 5

= 20/5

Simplify 25/5 into a mixed number fraction . . .

20/5 = 4 <-----------

Jim should make 4 hot dogs.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
