To determine which is bigger between one half and five eighths, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8. When both fractions are converted to have a common denominator, one half is equal to four eighths, and five eighths is already in the same form. Comparing them now, we see that five eighths is bigger than four eighths (or one half). Therefore, five eighths is the larger fraction.
fractions that can not be simplified any more
5 > 3Dividing both sides of an inequality by a positive number does not alter the inequality.Therefore dividing by 8 gives 5/8 > 3/8.
Multiplying the denominators together of two or more unlike fractions will get you a common multiple.
1/8
2 fifths, sixth eighths, and thousands more.
None. Three eighths in decimal form is .375 . You obtain the decimal form of a fraction by dividing the numerator (3) by the denominator (8). For one fraction to be equivalent, or "the same" as another, it needs to be exactly the same in decimal form as the other. Two sixths is .333 in decimal form, which is less than .375, meaning the answer is more than two sixths. Three sixths is .500, which is higher than .375, meaning the answer is less than three sixths. So the equivalent of three eighths in sixths lies somewhere in between two sixths and three sixths, but there is no exact number of sixths that is the equivalent of three eighths. To illustrate how a successful fractional equivalent would look, ask how many sixteenths are the same as three eighths. Five sixteenths is .313, less than .375, and six sixteenths is .375 exactly. You recall that three eighths is also .375. Therefore, you can conclude that six sixteenths is equivalent, or the same as, three eighths.
Fractions greater than three fourths include four fifths, five sixths, six sevenths, seven eights, eight ninths, and infinitely many more others.
No, it is not.
4/8 is greater.
4/8=2/4...four eighths are in two fourths 4 eighths are is 2 fourths Clear explanation... 2/4 = ?/8 Use cross multiplication and division to obtain the answer... 2 x 8 = 16 then 16 / 4 = 4 There you have it! Good luck and I hope this helped to explain a bit more.
they're the same
Answer One half is the same as four eighths, so five eighths is one eighth more.
Yes, I believe it is.
5/8 = 35/56 while 4/7 = 32/56 so five eighths is more.
No. 1/6 is not more than 6/8.Although the larger denominator (8 rather than 6) indicates smaller parts (eighths rather than sixths), there are moreof those parts, or eighths (the numerator 6) than there are sixths (just 1).If we convert them to the same denominator, this is obvious.1/6 (times 8/8) = 8/486/8 (times 6/6) = 36/48 which is much larger.
Yes, seven eighths is greater than five tenths. Five tenths, or one half, expressed in eighths would be four eighths. Since seven is greater than four, seven eighths is greater than four eighths (or five tenths). One easy way to know is use a calculator and do the division (seven divided by eight, and five divided by ten); in decimal form the higher value may be more quickly apparent when compared.
