Answer:

Split the number into the whole number component and fraction component.

5 8/25= 5+8/25.

For the denominator, recognize that

25×4=100.

Multiple =4.

Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the multiple 4.

8×4/ 25×4.

Simplify.

32/100=0.32

Combine the whole number component with the decimal.

5+0.32=5.32

I hope this helps
