Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to the given question is

$\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$\frac{5}{8}$

To find :

we have to express the given fraction as a sum of unit fractions.

Solution :

A unit fraction is a rational number which is written as a fraction where the numerator is one and the denominator is a positive integer.

Therefore the reciprocal of a positive integer is called a unit fraction

example: The positive integer 3 and its unit fraction is 1/3.

In the given number 5/8, the digit 5 is divided in terms of 1.

which involves 5 one, the addition of 5 one is 5.

Then if the denominator of all the fractions is the same, we can easily add the number to the numerator.

$\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8}$

The addition of the above fractions will be equal to

$\frac{5}{8}$

Therefore, the final answer to the given question is

$\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$
