Answer:

62.5%

Explanation:

To start off, we know some pieces of the answer, so why don't we use what they give us. We know that it is 5/8 of something, so all we have to do is multiply then divide your answer to check it. We know that there is a 100th of something always found in a percent so it looks like this.

x

___

100

So, 5/8 times 100 gives us 62.5. And we know that since it is out of a hundred, that it is a percent, so it's 62.5%.

To check our work, we can do 62.5 divided by 5/8, and we get that it equals 100. So all in all, the answer is 62.5%!

Hope this helps, have a good day. c;

Answer:

62.5%

Explanation:

To find the percentage, you simply need to divide the number on top by the number on bottom and multiply by 100:

5 ÷ 8 = 0.625

0.625 x 100 = 62.5

So the percentage is 62.5%!


Hope this helps!
