What is 9 times 5 /8? as a mixed number? somebody please help me find the answer!

5 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

9 = 9/1

so 9 x 5/8 = 9/1 x 5/8

you could quickly make it 45/8 or make it 9x5/1x8

45/8 is improper so you have to see which multiple of 8 is the highest without exceeding the numerator

40 is the closest and it is 8x5 so 5 will be the integer.

there are 5 leftover so 5 is also the numerator

and the denominator stays 8 as there is no further simplifying

so, the answer is 5 5/8
