Work out 2/5 of 8 please help me
"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. :)
\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}
