First, find the least common multiple of 5 and 8 so that you convert both numbers to fractions with the same denominator.
The least common multiple of 5 and 8 is 40, since their greatest common factor is 1.
To convert 2/5 to ?/40 , multiply by 8/8 , so 2/5 x 8/8 = 16/40.
To convert 5/8 to ?/40 , multiply by 5/5 , so 5/8 x 5/5 = 25/40.
Now, you can perform the desired operation on the two fractions.
you multiply it
6 over 10
5/8 is equivalent to 10/16
2/5 x 10 = 4
5/8 = 10/16 = 15/24
3(32) is 27 14(52) is 350 27 times 350 is 9450
There are several options: As a fraction: 2/5 (2over5) As a decimal: 0.4 As a percent: 40%
To convert a fraction into a decimal, divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator). To convert 5/8, divide 5 by 8. The answer is .625
2over3 because the denominator is smaller but the nominator is the same as it is in 2over5, so more is taken up
2/5=1/2 5/10=1/2 1/2*1/2=1/4
4/8, 5/8, 4/6, 3/4
Do you mean: 2/3+5/8 If so: 2/3+5/8 = 16/24+15/24 = 31/24 or 1 and 7/24
