3/16 (three sixteenths) 3/8 x 1/2 = 3/16
1/2+3/8=7/8 -lover of math geeks ;) the common denominator is eight, so one half is converted into four eights. Then, three eighths plus four eighths is seven eighthts, so your answer is seven eighths. - A math geek
To determine if three eighths of a mile is more than half a mile, we need to convert both fractions to a common denominator. Half a mile is equivalent to four eighths of a mile. Therefore, three eighths is less than four eighths, which means that three eighths of a mile is indeed less than half a mile.
A common denominator is 32.
Just do the usual steps to add fractions. First, find the common denominator (8, in this case). Second, convert both fractions to the common denominator. Third, add the numerators.
Three eighths is the same as six sixteenths - half of six sixteenths is three sixteenths
Four eighths
three eighths
28
one and seven eighths
Three and three sixteenths
To determine which fraction is larger, you can convert them to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator would be 8. Three fourths is equivalent to six eighths, while five eighths remains the same. Therefore, three fourths (or six eighths) is larger than five eighths.
Three and three eighths in decimal is 3.375. A half is 0.5, a quarter is 0.25 and an eighth is 0.125, therefore three eighths is 0.375.
