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.
It is five eighths.
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).
