Well, honey, if we're talking about 1 whole, that's the same as 8 fifths. So, technically, there are 8 fifths in 1 8. But if you're asking how many fifths are in 1/8, well, you've got yourself a fraction of a fifth there, sweetie.
5 / (1/8) = 5*(8/1) = 40
Oh, what a happy little question! In 1 whole, there are 8 eighths. So, if we want to find out how many five eighths are in 1, we simply divide 8 by 5, which equals 1 and 3 eighths. Just a little math magic to make your day brighter!
5 with 1 remaining 41 - 1 = 40 = 8 x 5
The idea is to divide 1/8 divided by 1/5. This is the same as 1/8 times 5/1.
