$\frac{5}{16}$ $color(green)(5/16)$ of $8$ $8$ is $2 \frac{1}{2}$ $2 1/2$

Let $k$ $color(red)k$ be the fraction of $8$ $8$ which is equal to $2 \frac{1}{2}$ $2 1/2$

Therefore
$k \times 8 = 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}$ $color(red)(k)xx8 = 2 1/2 = 5/2$

$\to k = \frac{5}{2} \div 8 = \frac{5}{16}$ $rarr color(red)(k) = 5/2 div 8 = 5/16$

What fraction of 8 is 2122 1/2?
