if you mean 8 times a half, then you work it out like this: 2 times a half is: 1 4 times a half is: 2 8 times a half is: 3
3/4 times 1/2 = 3/8
3/8
1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8
The answer is 16.
3 remainder 4 = 3 and a half.
9 and 3 8ths (9 3/8)
8 3/4 x 3 1/2 is 30 5/8
3 1/2 * 8 = 7/2 * 8/1 = 56/2 or 28
1/2 times 3/4 = 3/8
A half of 3/8 is 3/16. Half of 3/16 is 3/32. Half of 3/32 is 3/64. So what would half of 3/64 be? . . . . . . . . . . . Yep, it would be 3/128.
It's not half as much, it is twice as much. And it is twice as much, precisely because 2/3 is twice as much as 1/3.
