Question

Work out 2/5 of 8 please help me

Answer 1

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