Express 5/8 as a decimal.
Will it be 0.375?
You're welcome.
No. 5/8 is more than half. 0.375 is less than half.
Divide 5 by 8 to find the decimal equivalent.
Ok thank you

Yes, you are correct! The decimal representation of 5/8 is indeed 0.375. Here's how you can get to that answer:
To express a fraction as a decimal, you simply divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number). In this case, you would divide 5 by 8.
When you divide 5 by 8, you get 0.625. However, we're not done yet because we want the answer to be in three decimal places.
To express 0.625 as three decimal places, we can add a zero to the right of the decimal point. The number is still the same, as adding a zero after the decimal point does not change its value.
So, 0.625 becomes 0.6250.
However, we can simplify it by removing the trailing zeros. Since they do not change the value of the number, we can just remove them.
Therefore, 0.6250 simplifies to 0.625.
To summarize, the decimal representation of 5/8 is indeed 0.625, and it does not become 0.375.
