Find 5 ➗ 3/8.
How can you find the number of 3/8s in 5?
Multiply 5 by ? to find the number of eighths in 5.
Then divide by ? to find the number of groups of 3 eighths.
To find 5 ÷ 3/8, we first need to find the number of eighths in 5 by multiplying 5 by 8/8 to get 40/8. Then, we divide 40 by 3 to find the number of groups of 3 eighths in 5.
40/8 ÷ 3 = 40/8 ÷ 3/1 = 40/8 × 1/3 = 40/24 = 5/3
Therefore, 5 ÷ 3/8 = 5/3.
