Answer:

It may help to think of a fraction as the numerator (top number) being divided by the denominator (bottom number) because that is what a fraction is.

Explanation:

The fraction 5/8 can be thought of as 5 divided by 8. You can either do the division on paper or with a calculator and it comes to 0.625.
