Question

Answer 1

help

Answer 2

1 8th is 0.125
1 16th is just 0.0625
multiply by 5, is just 2 8th and 1 more 16th
so 0.25 with an extra 1 /16th,
this is just 0.3125

13/16 is 8/16 or 1/2 bigger or 0.8125

another way to look at it is to first multiply everything by 1000, so 1 16th of a 1000, so it is easier to visualize
