make lower number the same
5/8 = 15/24
1/3 = 8/24
15/24 - 8/24 = 7/24
of means times. so its 1/3 times 5/8 which = 5/24
5/8 or five-eighths
1 and 3 eighths
5/8 ÷ 1/4 = 21/2
One eighth of 40 is 5. So 5 eighths of 40 = 5 x 5 = 25.
(3/2)-(5/8) = 7/8 or 0.875
3 and 2/3rds
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.
The sum of 5/8 and 1/3 is 23/24
To subtract two from five eighths, you first need to express two in terms of eighths. Two can be written as sixteen eighths (since 2 = 16/8). Now, subtract: ( \frac{5}{8} - \frac{16}{8} = \frac{5 - 16}{8} = \frac{-11}{8} ). Therefore, five eighths minus two equals negative eleven eighths, or -1.375 in decimal form.
of means times. so its 1/3 times 5/8 which = 5/24
If you mean 8 and 7/12 subtract 2 and 3/8 then it is 6 and 5/24
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. In this instance, 5/8 / 1/3 = 5/8 x 3 = 1 7/8 or one and seven eighths. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 1.875.
5/8 + 1 = 1 5/8 or one and five eighths.
There 45 eighths in 5 and 5 eighths.
