Let’s analyze and solve question 1 from the image.

Step 1: Count the cupcakes for each kind:

• Pink cupcakes: 5
• Yellow cupcakes: 3
• Chocolate cupcakes: 8

Step 2: Write fractions and mixed numbers:

For each kind, we express the count of cupcakes as fractions and, where needed, as mixed numbers.

1. Pink cupcakes:

   • Fraction: $\frac{5}{1}$ (already in simplest form as an improper fraction).
   • Mixed number: $5$.

2. Yellow cupcakes:

   • Fraction: $\frac{3}{1}$ (simplest form as an improper fraction).
   • Mixed number: $3$.

3. Chocolate cupcakes:

   • Fraction: $\frac{8}{1}$ (simplest form as an improper fraction).
   • Mixed number: $8$.

Final Answer:

• Pink cupcakes: $\frac{5}{1}$ or $5$
• Yellow cupcakes: $\frac{3}{1}$ or $3$
• Chocolate cupcakes: $\frac{8}{1}$ or $8$
