3/4
Three fourths is six eights, so subtract one eight and the answer is five eights.
Five halves divided by five fourths = 2
five and a half(I took a short cut: seven and five fourths minus two and three fourths... seven minus two & five fourths minus three fourths)
Three fourths plus five fourths is equal to eight fourths, or two whole units.
2 and 1 fourths 2.25
no five fourths is one and one fourth but 5 twos is 2 and a half
The answer is 1/4. There are 4 fourths in a whole. Convert 1/2 into 2/4, then subtract 1/4
2 and 1/2 or 2 and 2/4.
1.25 is equal to five fourths.
3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4 (or simplified 1/2)
Half of five and three fourths is the same as dividing the total value by 2. To find half of five, you divide 5 by 2, which equals 2.5. To find half of three fourths, you divide 3/4 by 2, which equals 3/8. Therefore, half of five and three fourths is 2.5 + 3/8 = 2.875 or 2 7/8.
3/4 - 1/2 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4
