One eighth of 32 is 4, since 4 x 8 = 32, so five of them = 20.

There are a few ways to do this, here is one:
5/8 of 32 = 32 divided by 5/8
32/8 = 4 divide the denominator into the whole number. this is 1/8 of 32
4 * 5 = 20 multiply the numerator times the previous result. this is 5/8 of 32
5/8 of 32 = 20
this is the proof:
5/8 = 5 divided by 8 = .625
20/32 = 20 divided by 32 = .625

5/8 of 32
5/8 x 32/1
5/1 x 4/1 (after breaking it down)
which is just 5 x 4 = 20
