Explanation
Plug In for the variables. Let m = 3 and n = 5, and \(\frac{2+3}{3 *5}= \frac{5}{15}=\frac{1}{3}\).
Hence option E is correct.
Alternatively, you could manipulate the fractions: \(\frac{2+m}{mn}=\frac{2}{mn}+\frac{m}{mn}= \frac{2}{mn}+\frac{1}{n}\).

We need to simplify \(\frac{2+m}{mn}\)
\(\frac{2+m}{mn}\) = \(\frac{2}{mn} + \frac{m}{mn}\) = \(\frac{2}{mn} + \frac{1}{n}\)
So, Answer will be E
Hope it helps!
\(\frac{2+m}{mn}\) = \(\frac{2}{mn} + \frac{m}{mn}\) = \(\frac{2}{mn} + \frac{1}{n}\)
So, Answer will be E
