1 and 3/8
The answer is 1 1/4.
One eighth is 1/8. Two eighths (2/8) is two one eighths, that is, (1/8) + (1/8) or 2 x (1/8). So five eighths (5/8) would be five one eighths, that is, (1/8) + (1/8) + (1/8) + (1/8) + (1/8) or 5 x (1/8). There are five eighths (1/8) in five eighths (5/8).
5/8 + 1 = 1 5/8 or one and five eighths.
Oh, what a happy little question! In 1 whole, there are 8 eighths. So, if we want to find out how many five eighths are in 1, we simply divide 8 by 5, which equals 1 and 3 eighths. Just a little math magic to make your day brighter!
1 / (5/8) = 8/5 OR 1.6 of them.
12/8 which is simplified to 1 1/2.
1/4
One half + five eighths = nine eighths
1.6 (you can find it on any calculator, 1/[0.625] <--- this is 5/8)
1 1/24 or 25/24
That would be 5 eighths. Since 1/2 is equal to 4 eighths, you simply add 1 and 4 together to make five. (The eighths part stays the same)
1½ = Twelve eighths so the answer is seven-eighths
