![**Topic: Similar Triangles**
### Problem Statement:
Given similar triangles \( \triangle EFG \sim \triangle LNM \), determine the measure of \( f \).
### Provided Information:
- \( g = 8 \frac{1}{10} \)
- \( n = 2 \frac{1}{2} \)
- \( m = 16 \frac{1}{5} \)
### Triangle Diagrams:
1. **Triangle EFG:**
- Side FG is labeled as \( f \).
- Side EG is labeled as \( g \).
2. **Triangle LNM:**
- Side NM is labeled as \( n \).
- Side LM is labeled as \( m \).
### Task:
Calculate \( f \), ensuring to express the answer as a mixed fraction. Enter the whole number in the green box provided.
### Instructions:
To solve for \( f \), use the property of similar triangles where the ratios of corresponding sides are equal:
\[
\frac{f}{n} = \frac{g}{m}
\]
From this, solve for \( f \) using:
\[
f = \frac{n \cdot g}{m}
\]
Fill in your answer as a mixed fraction and include the whole number part in the green box.
