How do you make 5 and 5 over 8 into a decimal?

Answer 1

assuming is meant five and five eighths

5 = 40 / 8

40 / 8 + 5 / 8 = 45 / 8

for a decimal make 8 into 10 or 100 and so on

45 / 8 = 22.5 / 4

then multiply 4 by 25 to get 100

then also multiply 22.5 by same number

22.5 x 25 = 562.5

and divided by the 100

562.5 / 100 = 5.625 answer
