Well, honey, let me break it down for you. One half is the same as four eighths, so five eighths is definitely bigger. It's basic math, darling. No need to overcomplicate things.
It is five eighths.
Well, isn't that a lovely little math question! Half of five is two and a half, and half of three eights is one and a half eights. So, when you add them together, you get three and six eights. Just remember, there are no mistakes in math, only happy little accidents.
One eighth is 1/8. Two eighths (2/8) is two one eighths, that is, (1/8) + (1/8) or 2 x (1/8). So five eighths (5/8) would be five one eighths, that is, (1/8) + (1/8) + (1/8) + (1/8) + (1/8) or 5 x (1/8). There are five eighths (1/8) in five eighths (5/8).
four eighths would be one half or 50%
4 X 1/8th = 1/2 Basically, 4/8 in 1/2
