What is two thirds of eight?
I just need help how to solve it.
(2/3) * 8 = 16/3 = ?
I did 2/3 x 8/1 and got 16/3. I then simplified it into 5 1/3, is that correct?
Yes, 5 1/3 is right.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
To find two-thirds of eight, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate one-third of eight.
To find one-third of a number, we need to divide that number by three. In this case, one-third of eight is 8 ÷ 3 = 2.6667 (rounded to four decimal places).
Step 2: Multiply one-third by two.
To find two-thirds of eight, we multiply one-third by two. Using the value we found in step one, 2.6667, we multiply it by two.
2.6667 x 2 = 5.3334 (rounded to four decimal places).
So, two-thirds of eight is approximately 5.3334.
