5/8 = 10/16

10/16 + 15/16 = 25/16

Do you have a typo somewhere?
No I don't have any typos. Why?
This is a division problem
5/8 ÷ 15/16 = 5/8 * 16/15 = 80/120 = 2/3

How did you get 5/12 ??
I don't remember I threw out the page that had my work on it
But thank you for the help now I understand and know what to do the next time a problem like this comes up.
