Answer:

0.5333333333 or 0.53 when simplified.

Explanation:

8/15 is simply 8÷15

15 into 8 is not possible so you annex a zero and write a decimal point.The 8 now becomes 80. We now say 80÷15,the answer is 5 because 15x5=75.The remainder is five.We annex another zero and it becomes 50,50÷15=3

I hope this helps.
