If you mean 7/8 minus 1/2 then it is 3/8
Half of seven eights is three fourths
seven eights. 1 half = 4 eights add 3 eights and you get 7 eights.

2 fourths is a half. (Seven eights minus a half) 7 x 8 - 0.5 = 55.5 (Seven eights minus a half) 7/8 - 1/2 = 3/8
Three eights. There are four eights in one half.
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)
It is 7/16.
The final answer would be three and three-eighths. Here's how to solve it mentally.You have to set their denominators [bottom numbers] equal. So, keep seven eights, since two ["half"] goes into eight, but you must make 2 and a half into 2 and four eights, because four is half of eight. Pretend for a minute that the four eights isn't there. So, 2 and seven eights. Then, add one from the four eights, so that it will now be 3., and so that the four eights is now three eights. So, 3 and three eights.Sorry. I'm not very good at explaining, but I hope that helped. ^^"
