Maybe you need to put your brain into gear of you can't add 2 to 5. The answer's 7 eighths, by the way.
5÷2/5=25/2=12½ or 12.5 ... not a whole number
Example: five eighths divided by two Treat the whole number as a number divided by one Bracket the fraction above the fraction bar and the number below the bar. So: (5/8) / (2/1) Now invert the bottom line and multiply with the top line: 5/8 * 1/2 and multiply out: = 5 / 16
5 over 2 is not a whole number. simplified it is 2 and one half or 2.5
