focus on the fraction
what can divide into 8 and 48
if you need to you can do small numbers like 2
but you can divide 4 and 8
you don’t have to worry about 5 because that a whole number so pretend that’s not that there until you break down the fraction till you can’t anymore
once you can’t break down the fraction anymore and the 5 back
hope this helped

Given:


5(8)/(48)
5(8)/(48)=(248)/(48)
5(8)/(48)=(31)/(6)
5(8)/(48)=5.1667
