0.75

0.5

0.625

To convert the fraction 5/8 to a decimal, you can perform the division of the numerator (5) by the denominator (8).

When you divide 5 by 8, you determine how many times 8 fits into 5. Since 8 is greater than 5, you start with a value of 0, and you can add a decimal point and zeros to continue the division.

2. Now, consider how many times 8 fits into 50. It fits 6 times since 8 x 6 = 48, which you can subtract from 50 to get a remainder of 2.

3. Bring down another 0, making it 20. Now consider how many times 8 fits into 20, which is 2 times since 8 x 2 = 16. Subtracting 16 from 20 leaves you with a remainder of 4.

4. Again, bring down a 0, making it 40. 8 fits into 40 exactly 5 times since 8 x
