1/5 + 1/8 = 8/40 + 5/40 = 13/40
To add one eighth and two fifths, we first need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 5 is 40. So, we rewrite one eighth as 5/40 and two fifths as 16/40. Adding these fractions together, we get 21/40.
3/5 + 1/8 = 24/40 + 5/40 = 29/40
40
One eighth times 5 is 40, because there are 40 eighths in 5.Other people may think that it will be something like .625 or 6.25, but they are wrong because they probably did it on a calculator, and calculators usually interpret things in the wrong way.
Five is one eighth of 40.
8/40 + 5/40 = 13/40
1/40
40 / 8 x 1 = 5
1/5 + 1/8 = 8/40 + 5/40 = 13/40

1/8 x 1/5 = 1/40 (one fortieth)
11 over 40
1/8 x 40 = 5
5= 40 x 1/8= 40/8= 5
4/40 + 15/40 = 19/40 or 0.1 + 0.375 = 0.475 = 19/40
3/5 + 1/8 = 24/40 + 5/40 = 29/40
