The solution of the expression is 80
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is
![(5)/(8) \ of \ 128](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/d0fhzd8plibcvdkui8j6qcfikb9c8yrlew.png)
We need to find the solution of the given expression.
The solution can be determined by multiplying both the terms.
Thus, the expression can be written as
![(5)/(8)* 128](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/4omtxihxupp8jlfmfoxrvxtsmpfxufqxg0.png)
Let us cross cancel the common factor 8.
Simplifying the expression by cancelling the common factor of 8, we have,
![(5)/(1)* 16](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/f7g0l7sz044guyus10v3wj30gx9c1hrhzk.png)
Multiply the numerator in the expression, we get,
![(80)/(1)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/bj0ovzt6nrmbx6o9sa4tzzd4z6r0jwm841.png)
Dividing the terms, we get,
80
Thus, the solution of the given expression is 80.
