Solution Steps

Express 3\times \frac{5}{8} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{3\times 5}{8}=\frac{15}{8}\text{ and }\frac{15}{8}=\frac{1\times 8+7}{8}$$

Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.

$$\frac{15}{8}=\frac{15}{8}\text{ and }\frac{15}{8}=\frac{1\times 8+7}{8}$$

Compare \frac{15}{8} and \frac{15}{8}.

$$\text{true}\text{ and }\frac{15}{8}=\frac{1\times 8+7}{8}$$

Multiply 1 and 8 to get 8.

$$\text{true}\text{ and }\frac{15}{8}=\frac{8+7}{8}$$

Add 8 and 7 to get 15.

$$\text{true}\text{ and }\frac{15}{8}=\frac{15}{8}$$

Compare \frac{15}{8} and \frac{15}{8}.

$$\text{true}\text{ and }\text{true}$$

The conjunction of \text{true} and \text{true} is \text{true}.

$$\text{true}$$
