$Computer = \frac{5}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Library = \frac{1}{2}$

$Computers = \frac{5}{8}$ of library.

Required

Determine the fraction going towards computer purchase.

We have:

$Computers = \frac{5}{8}$ of library.

This can be rewritten as:

$Computers = \frac{5}{8}$ * library.

Substitute $Library = \frac{1}{2}$

So, we have:

$Computer = \frac{5}{8} * \frac{1}{2}$

$Computer = \frac{5}{16}$

Hence:

The fraction is $\frac{5}{16}$
