Answer:

14.625 or 14.63

Explanation:

Given:

14 5/8

Work:

14 5/8 can be converted into a improper fraction → To do so you have to keep the denominator the same but change the numerator. Take 14 and multiply it by 8 from here add 5 and that will be your number ator

  • 14 5/8 → ?/8 → 14*8 = 112+5 = 117 → 117/8

From here you can divide:

  • 117/8 = 14.625 → You can decide how you want to write out the decimal. You can leave it as is or simplify

I hope this helps!
