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.
