Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the decimal equivalent of 5/8?
Correct Answer: 0.625
  • Step 1: Understand that 5/8 means 5 divided by 8.
  • Step 2: Set up the division: 5 ÷ 8.
  • Step 3: Since 5 is smaller than 8, we know the answer will be less than 1.
  • Step 4: Add a decimal point and a zero to 5, making it 5.0.
  • Step 5: Now, divide 50 by 8. 8 goes into 50 six times (8 x 6 = 48).
  • Step 6: Subtract 48 from 50, which leaves you with 2.
  • Step 7: Bring down another 0, making it 20.
  • Step 8: Divide 20 by 8. 8 goes into 20 two times (8 x 2 = 16).
  • Step 9: Subtract 16 from 20, which leaves you with 4.
  • Step 10: Bring down another 0, making it 40.
  • Step 11: Divide 40 by 8. 8 goes into 40 five times (8 x 5 = 40).
  • Step 12: Subtract 40 from 40, which leaves you with 0.
  • Step 13: Now, combine the results: 0.625 is the answer.
