Answered by oobleck
huh?
you have something over 5 = 508.2
So, something must be 2541
I have no idea what "8.47 3" means
Do you have an exponent? Use ^, as x^2 for x squared
And why say "over five"? Why not write /5
Now, try writing what you meant, and what your calculation was.

What "8.47 3" mean? Is 3 an exponent? Or did you mean "8.473"? Also, if you don't understand, you might want to ask your teacher for additional help, or find a website or YouTube video about the topic.

3 is the exponent...

because 3/5=60% and 8.47 converted to a percent its 84.7%
Answered by oobleck
You should have seen that 5.082 is wrong. You know that 3/5 is more than half, so your answer should have been more than 40, which is about half of 80

Somehow you have messed up the decimal point.

3/5 of 84.7% is 50.82
not 508.2, and not 5.082
Answered by oobleck
however, looking back at your original problem, yes,
5.082 is 3/5 of 8.47
