Answer: 22 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
since 36 is a WHOLE number think of it as a fraction like [tex]\frac{36}{1}[/tex]
So we do [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] multiplied by [tex]\frac{36}{1}[/tex] , so 5x36= 180 and 8x1= 8
now we have: [tex]\frac{180}{8}[/tex]
NOW find the GFC, and the GCF of 180 and 8 is 4.
so we divide the fraction 180/8 by 4 so 180/4=45
8/4=2
45/2 can be simplied to 22 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
