Answer:

5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5\frac{8}{20}[/tex]

To find its equivalent decimal, solve.

Step 1: Simplify the fraction

[tex]\frac{8}{20}[/tex]

It seems like 2 can go into 20 and 8.

So, 20 ÷ 2 = 10, and 8 ÷ 2 = 4. Then we have:

[tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex], which can still be simplified further. So, by 2:

4 ÷ 2 = 2

10 ÷ 2 = 5

The final result is [tex]\boxed{\bold{\frac{2}{5}}}[/tex]

Now we have [tex]5\frac{2}{5}[/tex]. Since we already have a whole number (5), we can just convert the fraction ([tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]) into a decimal.

Step 1: Solve

  • Divide 2 by 5

2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

However, we have 5, so the decimal equivalent to [tex]5\frac{8}{20}[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{5.4}[/tex]
