Question

How do you write 5.8 as a mixed number

Answer 1

5 8/10 or it would be 5 4/5 if you want it simplified.

Answer 2

we know that
the number
`5.8`
is equal to

`5+0.80`
and

`0.80` is equal to

`8/10`
divide by 2 both members

`(8)/(10) = (4)/(5)`

therefore

the number
`5.8` is equal to
`5 (4)/(5)`
