There are 40 eights in 5.
5/8 or five-eighths
40
40 of them.
5 1/2
It can't be a whole number but 5/2 is 2 and 1/2 as a mixed number
40 eigths are in 5 wholes. eight eights equal one whole times 5 wholes equals 40 eights.
Oh, dude, math time! So, there are 16 sixteenths in a whole, right? And we want to know how many 8 eighths are in 5 sixteenths. Well, 5 sixteenths is like 10 eighths, because you double the number of eighths to get the equivalent in sixteenths. So, there are 10 eighths in 5 sixteenths. Math is fun, right?
Both 5 and 2 are whole numbers!
40
5/8 is bigger.
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.
