515 in an integer, not a fraction!
5.15 is a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. And, being a decimal, there is no simpler form. Its rational equivalent is 515/100 which can be simplified to 5 3/20.
There are 1.609344 kilometres in one mile. Therefore, rounded to two decimal places, 515 kilometres is equal to 515/1.609344 = 320.01 miles.
0.4 as a fraction and decimal
A decimal number is one in which the place value of each digit is ten times the place value of the digit to its right. (... , thousands, hundreds, tens, units, tenths, hundredths, ... ) A decimal point is used to separate the units from the tenths. If a number in decimal form has non-zero digits after the decimal point then it is a decimal fraction. [There is one esoteric exception: if the decimal point is followed by an infinite string of 9s, then it is not a decimal fraction.] Thus 37.6 is a decimal fraction 0.6 is a decimal fraction 0.00000063 is a decimal fraction 37 is not a decimal fraction. 37.0 is not a decimal fraction. 37.999... recurring is no a decimal fraction [it is in fact = 38].
To write 5.15 as a fraction, you first need to determine the place value of the decimal. In this case, the 1 in 5.15 is in the hundredths place. Therefore, you can write 5.15 as 515/100, which can be simplified to 103/20 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5.
515 is an integer and not a fraction. However, it can be expressed in rational form as 515/1 which cannot be simplified.

515 is an integer and so there is not really a sensible way of writing it as a fraction or mixed number.
5/15 = 1/3
515/1 is one possible answer.
A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So the required decimal representation is 515, exactly as in the question.
a decimal fraction means a fraction that changes into a decimal or a decimal that changes into a farction
There are 1760 yards in one mile. Therefore, rounded to two decimal places, 515 yards is equal to 515/1760 = 0.29 miles.
There are 1.609344 kilometres in one mile. Therefore, rounded to two decimal places, 515 kilometres is equal to 515/1.609344 = 320.01 miles.
The number 5.15 has 2 spaces past the decimal (5.15). Therefore multiply it by 10^2 power, or 100. Then take that number, (515) and put it over the number you multiplied it by (100). You get 515/100 or 5 15/100 or 5 3/20
