Well 2 and 3 thirds is actually 3, because 3 thirds is 1. 3 plus five eights is 3 and five eighths. You can convert this into an improper fraction by multiplying the denominator (8) by the whole number (3) then adding the numerator (5). 8 x 3 +5 and putting this number above the denominator. So 3 and 5/8 is equal to 29/8.
Either 24 and 2 thirds or 1 and a 24th, depending on whether you meant eights or eighths.
3/8 plus 2/3 = 25/24
Five eights plus seven eights is twelve eights. 12/8 is 8/8 and 4/8 is 1 4/8 is 1 1/2 (one and a half)
The meaning of the question is ambiguous. Five eights is 5*8 = 40 Two eighths (?) is 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25 So the sum would be 40.25 Alternatively five eights plus two eights = seven eights = 7*8 = 56
5/8 is 0.625 and 2/3 is 0.66666.... (repeating decimal)
2/3 = 66.6% 5/8 = 62.5% 2/3 is larger
1&7/24ths 24 is the common denominator for 2/3rds & 5/8ths. 2/3rds=16/24ths & 5/8ths = 15/24ths
no; 2/3 = 16/24 and 5/8 = 15/24 so 2/3 is bigger
7 2/3
1/8 + 2/3 = 3/24 + 16/24 = 19/24
5/3 (five thirds) = 3/3 + 2/3 (three thirds plus two thirds) 5/3 (five thirds) = 1 2/3 (one and two thirds)
2 eights
