Answer 2

Answer:

5.32

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the 5 in $5 \frac{8}{25}$ will just be a 5, so we can leave that be for now.

Since we have $\frac{8}{25}$, we want to turn it into a decimal.

A way of representing decimals is $\frac{x}{100}$, like $\frac{69}{100}=0.69$.

Therefore, we can convert  $\frac{8}{25}$ into hundredths and find the decimal that way.

$\frac{8}{25} = \frac{x}{100}$

We can cross multiply to find the value of x.

$100\cdot8=800\\\\800\div25=32$

This means that $\frac{8}{25} = \frac{32}{100}$. This means the decimal is 0.32.

Adding the 5 to it, we get 5.32.

Hope this helped!
