See a solution process below:

First, multiply the numerator by the integer:

#2.5/8 xx 10 => 25/8#

If you need to convert this from an improper fraction to a mixed number execute the following process:

#25/8 => (24 + 1)/8 => 24/8 + 1/8 => 3 + 1/8 => 3 1/8#

You would need to multiply the two numerators (top) and then the two denominators (bottom) and then simplify.

#2.5/8xx10=3 1/8#

We have: #2.5/8#, and #10# which is #10/1#

So: #2.5/8xx10/1=(2.5xx10)/(8xx1)=25/8=(3(8)+1)/8=3 1/8#
