the way i do these sums is to multiply the top by the top,and the bottom by the bottom and the simplify the fraction in this case 2 5 10 1 - x - = - when you simplify = - 5 8 40 4
There are 4 eighths in a half. Therefore, 4 + 1 = 4 eighths.
10/8 = 5/4 = 1 and 1/4
1/4
There are two 'eighths" in a quarter ... 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4
6/8 simplifies to 3/4, so there are three fourths in six eighths.

The answer is 1 1/4.
To find out how many eighths are in 1 4/8 (which is the same as 1 48/8), you can simply divide the numerator (48) by the denominator (8), which equals 6. Therefore, there are 6 eighths in 1 48.
There are 4 eighths in a half. Therefore, 4 + 1 = 4 eighths.
10/8 = 5/4 = 1 and 1/4
One and four-eighths inches can be simplified to one and one-half inches. 1 1/2"
That would be 5 eighths. Since 1/2 is equal to 4 eighths, you simply add 1 and 4 together to make five. (The eighths part stays the same)
1/4
4/8 or 1/2
1/4
There are 8 eighths to a 1. Therefore the 4 in the question is made up of 4 x 8 = 32 eighths. 32 + 7 = 39 eighths
