Question

How many threes are in five-eighths?

Answer 1

you need to find a common denominator. First, that’s the bottom number.

6 and 8 both go into 24, thats the common denominator.

so that’s 20/24 (multiply top and bottom by 4) now we need to get 8 as the bottom. so we divide by 3.

you have 6 (with a remainder of 2) / 8 or 6.66/8 or (6 2/3)/8 either way.

There’s 6.66 eighths in 5/6

hope it help
