Answer 2

Explanation:

What is an eighth of 32?

An eighth of 32 means 32 is divided into eight equal parts.

Let's use a fact family for this problem:

8 * ? = 32

32 / 8 = ?

-------------

8 * 4 = 32

32 / 8 = 4

An eighth of 32 is 4.

Five eights of 32:

Five eighths of 32 is five times four which is 20

20 is 5 eighths of 32

5/8 * 32 = 20

32 * 5 / 8 = 20

The answer is 32.
