A fraction's numerator is the term that appears above the vinculum. It illustrates how many parts we have in total. A fraction's denominator is the term that appears below the vinculum. It reveals how many parts there are in all of us. A fraction's denominator and numerator are its top and bottom respective numbers.
The two numbers, which are separated by a line, are referred to as the numerator and the denominator, respectively. The line simply divides the numerator from the denominator and can be horizontal or slanted to mean either.
Given:
Marianne buys 16 bags of potting soil that comes in 5/8 pound bags.
a) 16 × 5 / 8 = 80 / 8 = 10
Marianne buys 10 pounds of potting soil.
b) She has 10 pounds, so she need bags only for 3 ponds.
3 : 5 / 8 = 3 × 8 / 5 = 24 / 5 = 4.8
She need 5 additional bags.
The complete question is:
Marianne buys 16 bags of potting soil that comes in 5/8 pound bags.
a) How many pounds of potting soil does Marianne buy?

The faucet was turned on for approximately 10.8 minutes.
This problem pertains to the division operation in mathematics. Given that 48.6 liters of water came out of the faucet and that 4.5 liters come out each minute, we can find the time the faucet was on by simply dividing the total volume by the volume per minute: 48.6 liters / 4.5 liters per minute which equals approximately 10.8 minutes. Therefore, the faucet was on for approximately 10.8 minutes.
