Answer :

"Of" means multiply so we are going to do [tex] \frac{2}{5}*8[/tex]. [tex] \frac{2}{5}*8= \frac{16}{40}[/tex] [tex] \frac{16}{40}[/tex] can be simplified. The GCF of 16 and 40 is 8 so we are going to do [tex] \frac{16}{40}[/tex] divided by 8. [tex] \frac{16:8}{40:8}= \frac{2}{5} [/tex] Therefore, your answer is [tex]\boxed{ \frac{2}{5}}[/tex]. Hoped I helped. :)
  \frac{2}{5}*8.  \frac{2}{5}*8= \frac{16}{40}  \frac{16}{40} can be simplified. The GCF of 16 and 40 is 8 so we are going to do  \frac{16}{40} divided by 8.  \frac{16:8}{40:8}= \frac{2}{5}
