What is an eighth of 32
An eighth of 32 means 32 is divided into eight equal parts. 


8 * ? = 32
32 / 8 = ?

8 * 4 = 32
32 / 8 = 4

32 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4
     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8

An eighth of 32 is 4.


Five eights of 32:
Five eighths of 32 is five times four which is 20
20 is 5 eighths of 32
5/8 * 32 = 20
32 * 5 / 8 = 20
The answer is 32.

Always think about what you've done:
5 eighths is a little more than half.
20 is a little more than have of 32, so we are in the ballpark.
