Is 7 over 8 less than 1 over 2?

Answer 1

yes, 7 over 8 is less that 1 over 2. 1 over 2 is .5, 50% or 1/2.

if you have a Pizza (and 1 person to share with) and you cut it in half, you and your friend get more of the pizza than if you would cut it into 8 slices and you (and 6 others) eat 7 slices.
