To divide 100 by 5/8, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert the fraction division into an equivalent multiplication. To do this, we flip the divisor (5/8) and change the operation to multiplication. So, we now have 100 multiplied by 8/5.

Step 2: Multiply the numerator of the first fraction (100) by the numerator of the second fraction (8), and multiply the denominator of the first fraction (1) by the denominator of the second fraction (5). So, we get:
100 * 8 = 800 (numerator)
1 * 5 = 5 (denominator)

Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction if possible. In this case, 800/5 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5. Therefore, we have:
800 ÷ 5 = 160 (numerator)
5 ÷ 5 = 1 (denominator)

Step 4: Express the result as a mixed number or a decimal if necessary. In this case, the fraction 160/1 can be expressed as the whole number 160. Therefore, 100 divided by 5/8 is equal to 160.
