Answer:
5 × 5 ÷ 8 = 3 ¹/₈
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the order of operations we need to work from left to right.
Therefore we should carry out the multiplication first.
5 × 5 means "5 lots of 5"
⇒ 5 × 5 = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25
Now we need to divide 25 by 8.
8 + 8 + 8 = 24
Therefore, 8 goes into 25 three times with a remainder of 1.
So, 5 × 5 ÷ 8 = 3 ¹/₈
