What is a Mixed Fraction?

A mixed fraction is a fraction that contains a whole number and a fraction whose denominator is greater than the numerator. A mixed fraction can be converted as,

2 1/2

= (2×2 + 1)/2

= 5/2

= 2.5

Given that Jasmine has 2 1/2 hours until her guests arrive. She spends 2/5 of that time cleaning and the rest of the time preparing snacks. Therefore, the time spent on preparing snacks is,

Time spent on preparing for snacks = 2 1/2 - 2/5

                                                            = 5/2 - 2/5

                                                            = 2.5 - 0.4

                                                            = 2.1 hours

                                                            = 2 1/10

Hence, the time that is spent by Jasmine to prepare for snacks is 2.1 hours or 2 1/10 hours.
