To find the whole number, you need to multiply the given fraction (1/8) by the number it represents. Let the number be x. So, the equation would be (1/8)x = 5. To solve for x, you would multiply both sides by 8 to get x = 40. Therefore, the whole number is 40.

Oh, dude, that's like basic math. So, if one eighth of a number is five, then the whole number would be 40. You just multiply 5 by 8, like boom, there's your answer. Math can be chill sometimes, you know?
