Converting this to eights, it becomes: 2 eights + 4 eights + 1 eight = 7 eights.
They are equal!
2 fourths is a half. (Seven eights minus a half) 7 x 8 - 0.5 = 55.5 (Seven eights minus a half) 7/8 - 1/2 = 3/8
Four Eighths are equal to 1/2.

Yes. three eights plus one eight equals 4 eights, or one half
A fraction between one half (1/2) and one fourth (1/4) is three eights (3/8).
A fourth of a half is an eighth, a half of a fourth is still an eighth. They're both equal.
Seven eighths 7/8
