Since 8 is a whole number and ⅖ is a fraction, it doesn’t make it that complicated. Fraction is just like division, you just make the number on the top as your dividend and the number below as your divisor. First, get the quotient of the fraction ⅖ which is 0.4. Since you are looking for the ⅖ of the whole number 8, you need to multiply it. The quotient 0.4 will be multiplied to 8. Or you can simply multiply 2 by 8 and divide it to 5. The answer would be 3.2
