First let me introduce to you how to express one as a fraction.
1=2%2F2=3%2F3=4%2F4=5%2F5=6%2F6=7%2F7=8%2F8=9%2F9=10%2F10=11%2F11=12%2F12=13%2F13=14%2F14
And so on. The numerator should be equal to the denominator to express one as a fraction

Back to your problem,
13 2/5=13+2/5

13%2B2%2F5=13%281%29+%2B%282%2F5%29
13%2B2%2F5=13%285%2F5%29%2B%282%2F5%29
13%2B2%2F5=%2813%2A5%2F5%29%2B%282%2F5%29
13%2B2%2F5=%28165%2F5%29%2B%282%2F5%29
13%2B2%2F5=%28165%2B2%29%2F%285%29
13%2B2%2F5=167%2F5

This is the improper fraction for 13 2/5!
