Yes. 8/16 = (8×1)/(8×2) = 8/8 × 1/2 = 1 × 1/2 = 1/2
It is 8 1/2.
4 and 1/8 minus 2 and 5/8 = 3/2 or 1 and 1/2
4 over 8 is the same as 1 over 2, so 1 over 2 plus 1 over 2 (.5+.5 OR 1/2 +1/2) is 1. The answer is 1.
3/8 - 1/2 = 3/8 - 4/8 = -1/8
Yes. 8/16 = (8×1)/(8×2) = 8/8 × 1/2 = 1 × 1/2 = 1/2
1/2 + 1/8 = 5/8
2 and 1 multiplied by 2 and 2 over 8=2(1)(2)(2)/8=8/8=1
It is 8 1/2.
4 and 1/8 minus 2 and 5/8 = 3/2 or 1 and 1/2
4 over 8 is the same as 1 over 2, so 1 over 2 plus 1 over 2 (.5+.5 OR 1/2 +1/2) is 1. The answer is 1.
3/8 - 1/2 = 3/8 - 4/8 = -1/8
3 over 8 plus -1 over 8 in fractional form is 2 over 8, or 2/8, and can be reduced to 1 over 4, or 1/4.
1/2 plus 2/8 = 4/8 + 2/8 = 6/8 = 3/4
1/2 + 5/8 = 4/8 + 5/8 = 9/8 = 1 1/8
5 over 8 = 5/8 1 over 4 = 1/4 = 2/8 5/8 + 2/8 = 7/8 Answer: 7 over 8
5/8 > 4/8 = 1/2
