9/8 - 2/8 => (9- 2)/ 8 => 7/8 The ANSWER!!!!
It is: 7/8+7/9 = 119/72
Expressed as a mixed number in its simplest form, 7/8 + 9/16 = 1 7/16 or one and seven sixteenths.
You haven't said what the 7 eighths are 7 eighths of, and that's going to make all the difference in the answer. -- If it's 7 eighths of a millimeter, then there are 7 eighths of a millimeter in it. -- If it's 7 eighths of an inch, then there are 22.225 millimeters in it. -- If it's 7 eighths of a foot, then 266.7 millimeters. -- If 7 eighths of a meter, then 875 millimeters. -- If 7 eighths of a mile, then 1,408,176 millimeters. -- If 7 eighths of a day, or 7 eighths of a pound, or just plain 7 eighths with no unit, then none.
10 minus 9/8 is 8 7/8
9/16=0.5625 7/8=0.875 7/8 - 9/16=0.3125 Another way to look at this is to consider that seven eighths is the same as fourteen sixteenths, and fourteen sixteenths is five sixteenths greater than nine sixteenths.
59/8 x 1/9 = 59/72
0.7778
8/9= 0.888 7/8 = 0.875 8/9 is bigger
6/8 + 7/9 = 55/36 and reduces to 119/36
seven eighths would be larger
yes 7/8th of an inch = 0.875"
