Explanation: Since 5/8 x 8 can be answered (because there is no variable), turn the whole number "8" into a fraction which would be: 8/1. Now, 5/8 x 8/1 equals 40/8 because 5 x 8 = 40 and 8 x 1 = 8. Now, simplify 40/8, which would be 20/4, simplifying it, even more, would be: 10/2, and one more time: 5/1 which is equivalent to 5. Hope this helps!
