4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are simply multiplying the fraction 2/5 by the whole number 2.

First, it would help to turn the whole number 2 into a fraction.

2 (as a fraction) = 2/1

Now to multiply fractions we multiply the top numbers (the numerators) with each other and the bottom numbers (the denominators) with each other.

(2/5) x (2/1)

Multiply the Numerators: 2 x 2 = 4

Multiply the Denominators: 5 x 1 = 5

Now simply place the numerator and denominator back in their respective places.

The 4 (numerator) belongs on the top of the fraction. The 5 (denominator) belongs on the bottom of the fraction.

Thus, our final answer is (4/5)
