a. 625%
5 divided by 8 = .625 = 625%
When your actually trying to get a percentage it would be 63% because you would round it.

None of those equal 5/8.
Answer A (.625%) is NOT the correct answer because 5/8 in decimals is .625 but .625% in decimals is .00625. Either move the decimal so answer A is 62.5% or remove the % and that's the right answer. I think you made a typo in transcribing the answers.
Answer C is not correct because 5/8 is less than 1 and 62.5 is obviously not less than 1.

I don't think that any of them can be correct!!! Because .625 % is not correct because when you first divide 5 by 8 you get .625 then you need to multiply it by 100 to get your percent! And then 10/18 is not equal to 5/8 even when simplified!! And 62.5 is out of it. And finally 24/45 is wrong to because it is not equal!!! Sorry i am not much help but, none of those can be correct!!! Could the problem be incorrect?

a i think. Because you can't get 10/18 or 24/45 from 5/8. and c is 500/8. So a is the only last logical answer, 5/8=.625.

The correct answer is 0.625 or 62.5%
A) .625% is not correct because although it does have .625, that is not the percent of 5/8.
B) 10/18 is not correct because nothing multiplied by 8 will give you 18, so therefore it is not an equivalent fraction.
C) 62.5 is not correct because although that is the percentage, there is no percent sign.
D) 24/45 is not correct because nothing mutiplied by 5 gives you 24, so this is not an equivalent fraction either.
So none of the answers are there, unless you mistyped something.
Hope I helped. Good luck!

Should be
a).625% a)62.5%
b).10/18 b)10/16
c)62.5 c).625
d.)24/45 (or 8/15) d)can't figure ANY conversion)
5 divided by 8 = .625, same as 62.5% (move decimal 2places)
same 10/16 (double numerator AND denomination)
correct ans.
e.) none of the above

The correct answer is C
You divide 5 by 8, and when you keep on going the answer turns out to be .625, you move the decimal twice to the right which gives you the correct answer.

There is no answer...
Not a because 5/8 is 62.5%
Not b because 5/8 is 10/16th multiple top and bottom by 2
Not c because thats just a number, it would have to be .625 or 62.5%
It's also not d because 24/5 is 4.8 and 45/8 is 5.625 so there is no factor there

it is 62.5% or .625 none of those because you divide 5 by 8 to get .625 so i think it is a trick question

.625. or 62.5%. So, none of the four answers you provided, unless you made typos. On your calculator, do 5 / 8 and you get 0.625
