1.       The distance of the gas station
is 2 4/5 kilometers. Now, find the decimal value of this given number.

=> since this is a mixed fraction, with a whole  number, before we can convert it to decimals,
we need to make it an improper fraction first.

=> to do that:

=> 5 x 2 = 10 + 4 = 14

=> 14/5

now, divide our denomination from out numerator.

=> 14/5

=>  2.8, thus the distance of the
nearest gas station is 2.8 kilometers.
