i can’t tell if you mean 87/ 5ths or 8 and 7/5ths

87/5ths is a fraction 8 and 7/5ths is a mixed #

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

87 5ths means you have 87 to divide by 5.

in other words … you have 87 pieces of candy and 5 friends 87 divided by 5 = 17 and 2/5ths

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

8 and 7/5ths is 8 whole with 7/5ths added

7/5ths is 7 divided by 5 which equals 1 and 2/5ths

the 8 plus the 1 adds up to 9 so the ans is 9 and 2/5ths

7/5 = 1 2/5

Therefore,

8 7/5 = 8 + 1 2/5 = 9 2/5
