Answer 2

5.32

Explanation:

We know that the 5 in
`5 (8)/(25)` will just be a 5, so we can leave that be for now.

Since we have
`(8)/(25)`, we want to turn it into a decimal.

A way of representing decimals is
`(x)/(100)`, like
`(69)/(100)=0.69`.

Therefore, we can convert
`(8)/(25)` into hundredths and find the decimal that way.

`(8)/(25) = (x)/(100)`

We can cross multiply to find the value of x.

`100\cdot8=800\\\\800/25=32`

This means that
`(8)/(25) = (32)/(100)`. This means the decimal is 0.32.

Adding the 5 to it, we get 5.32.

Hope this helped!
