1/40
1/5 x 1/8 is 1/40
1/40 ------- (1/8) times (1/5) = 1/40
1/5 ÷ 1/8 = 13/5
1 fifth 1 sixth 1 seventh 1 eighth
1/8 x 1/5 = 1/40 (one fortieth)
That depends on what you mean: twenty add one fifth is 20 + 1/5 = 20 1/5 twenty, add one fifth (of twenty) is 20 + 1/5 * 20 = 20 + 4 = 24
If you mean 2 and 1/8 divided by 1/5 then the answer is 10.625
A fifth is a fifth of a gallon, a pint is an eighth of a gallon. So the fifth is larger
-- To add one fifth to a number, add 0.2 to it. -- To find a new number that is one fifth bigger than the original number, multiply the original number by 1.2 .
1/8*1/5*1/3*1200 = 10
1/5 + 1/8 = 8/40 + 5/40 = 13/40
