To convert the fraction 5/8 to dollar form, you need to understand that each dollar is made up of 100 cents. Hence, to convert 5/8 to cents, you multiply the fraction by 100. This gives you:
5/8 x 100 cents = 62.5 cents
Since we do not typically use half-cents in currency, we round this to the nearest whole cent. This means that 5/8 of a dollar is equal to $0.63.
