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
