The answer is 1 5/24.
of means times. so its 1/3 times 5/8 which = 5/24
There are 24 eighths in 3 wholes because there are 8 eighths in one whole so if you multiply 8 by 3 you end up with 24 eighths.
make lower number the same 5/8 = 15/24 1/3 = 8/24 15/24 - 8/24 = 7/24
5/8 of 24 = 24*5/8 = 15
5/8 * 24 = 15
15/24 - 8/24 = 7/24

5/24
7/8 - 5/6 = 21/24 - 20/24 = 1/24
The answer is 1 5/24.
of means times. so its 1/3 times 5/8 which = 5/24
There 45 eighths in 5 and 5 eighths.
21/24 + 10/24 = 31/24 = 1 and 7/24
There are 24 eighths in 3 wholes because there are 8 eighths in one whole so if you multiply 8 by 3 you end up with 24 eighths.
One and three fourths divided by five eighths = 24/5
