Question

Work out 2/5 of 8 please help me

Answer 1

  \frac{2}{5}*8.  \frac{2}{5}*8= \frac{16}{40}  \frac{16}{40} can be simplified. The GCF of 16 and 40 is 8 so we are going to do  \frac{16}{40} divided by 8.  \frac{16:8}{40:8}= \frac{2}{5} 

Answer 2

"Of" means multiply so we are going to do
`(2)/(5)*8`.
`(2)/(5)*8= (16)/(40)`
`(16)/(40)` can be simplified. The GCF of 16 and 40 is 8 so we are going to do
`(16)/(40)` divided by 8.
`(16:8)/(40:8)= (2)/(5)` Therefore, your answer is
`\boxed{ (2)/(5)}`. Hoped I helped. :)
