You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi, I'm here to help. 5 out of 8 can also be written as 5/8.
 To turn this fraction into a percentage you must divide the numerator by the denominator, thus:
 5 divided by 8
 Which is .625
 Convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying it by 100 (in other words moving the decimal point two digits to the right) to arrive at the answer:
 62.5%
