1 and 3/8
2.25 + 3.375 = 5.625. Five and five eighths.
3/8 + 5/8 = 8/8
2 3/4
3/4
Five minus 3/8 is 4 5/8
No it is not. 5 and 3 eighths are bigger by one eighth.
2 1/4 + 3 3/8 = 5 5/8 or five and five eighths.
The percentage of five eighths is 62.5%.
Three ones
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).
three eighths over five twelfths is three eights divided by five twelfths which is: 3/8 ÷ 5/12 = 3/8 x 12/5 = 9/10
