5/8 is bigger.
To subtract one quarter from seven eighths, first convert one quarter to eighths. One quarter is equal to two eighths. Therefore, seven eighths minus two eighths equals five eighths. So, seven eighths minus one quarter equals five eighths.
5/7
31/48Thirty one forty eighths.
Each time, you add one to the numerator and one to the denominator.
2/3 or 5/8 Bring both fraction to a common denomiator of 3 x 8 = 24 Then bring the fractions to their equivalent values . Hence 2/3 & 5/8 => 16/24 & 15/24 We now compare the numerators (top numbers) Clearly 16 > 15 Hence 16/24 > 15/24 Hence it follows 16/24 > 15/24 => 2/3 > 5/8 Another method is to convert both fractions to decimals 2/3 = 0.666.... ~ 0.667 5/8 = 0.625 Hence 0.667 & 0.625 Drop the decimal points and the prefix zeroes. 667 & 625 Clearly 667 > 625 . Henceit follows that 2/3 > 5/8 As above.
seven eighths
Seven eights is slightly larger then five sixths.
5/8 is bigger.
5/8 is bigger.
No it is not. 5 and 3 eighths are bigger by one eighth.
5/8 is greater than 7/12
To subtract one quarter from seven eighths, first convert one quarter to eighths. One quarter is equal to two eighths. Therefore, seven eighths minus two eighths equals five eighths. So, seven eighths minus one quarter equals five eighths.
5/7
The second is bigger.
3/5 or 5/8 Bring both to the same denomiator of 5 x 8 = 40 Then bring the numertors to their equivalent over '40' 3/5 & 5/8 = > 24/40 & 25/40 Compare the numerators(top numbers). Clearly 25 > 24 Hence it follows that 25/40 > 24/40 => 5/8 > 3/5
23 and a half minus seven and five eighths equals 15.875
