Well, hello there! Let's paint a happy little picture with numbers. Five eighths is bigger than one half, just like adding more happy little trees to a painting makes it even more beautiful. Remember, numbers are just like colors on our palette - each unique and special in its own way.
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).
four eighths would be one half or 50%
4 X 1/8th = 1/2 Basically, 4/8 in 1/2
