Paul needs to buy 5/8 pound of peanuts. the scale at the store measures parts of a pound in sixteenth. what measure is equivalent to 5/8 pound?

5/8 = 10/16
Since it is measured in 1/16 of a pound.  I converted 5/8  to 10/16.

5    =    10
___      __
 8         16      

Multiplied both top and bottom by 2 to get the 16 as the denominator.
