5 over 8 can't be a whole number, as it is a fraction, a part of the whole.Slice a pie into 8 pieces. Each piece is an 8th of the whole pie. Only when the pie is whole can it be said to be a whole number - which would be 8. Remove a slice and the pie becomes a fraction.
You can convert a whole number to an equivalent fraction by multiplying it by the denominator of the fraction you're subtracting 5 - 3/8 = 40/8 - 3/8 = 37/8 = 4 and 5/8
You simply multiply the whole number by the denominator. A whole number divided by a fraction is the whole number times the inverse of the fraction. For example, 8 divided by 1/4 is 8 times 4 = 32.

15/8 is a fraction. The nearest whole number is 2.

There is no "whole number" that's equal to a fully reduced fraction..1/8 = .125 which is not a whole number.
If you're doing a whole number as one foot, then the fraction would be 2 and 8 over 12, which would simplify to 2 and 2 over 3.
8 over 1 is equivalent to 8 because every whole number is over 1 as a fraction.
3 and 1/8
Anytime you want to turn a whole number into a fraction, simply place it over 1. Thus 8 as a fraction is 8/1.
16/2
you put the whole number over one like this 8/1
It helps if you change the mixed number into an improper fraction. After you do that you can multiply the improper fraction and the whole number. **hint if you put the whole number over 1 it will make it easier to multiply For example: Multiply 3 and 1/2 by 8 1) change 3 and 1/2 to an improper fraction. It would be 7/2 2) put 8 over one in a fraction. It would be 8/1 3) multiply 7/2 by 8/1 - first multiply the numerators 7 x 8= 56 - second multiply the denominators 2 x 1= 2 4) reduce your answer (56/2) It would be 28 And that is how you multiply a mixed number with a whole number
