2.625
In 5 wholes, there would be a total of 40 eighths, for 5(8) is 40.
74 eighths
To find out what must be added to five-eighths to make a whole, you subtract five-eighths from one. A whole can be represented as eight-eighths, so you calculate: ( 1 - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{3}{8} ). Therefore, three-eighths must be added to five-eighths to make a whole one.
