I would have thought that the easiest solution is:
1. Find a quarter of 5 (=1.25)
2. Find a quarter of 8 (=2)
3. Add them together ( 1.25 + 2 = 3.25) QED
Half of one and a quarter is five eighths (5/8).
5/8
the difference is 3 because one third of 24 is 8 as 24/3 = 8 and a quarter of 20 is 5 as 20/4 = 5 then 8 - 5 = 3
5/40, 1/8
1/8 one eighth
Half of one and a quarter is five eighths (5/8).
5/8
5/8
the difference is 3 because one third of 24 is 8 as 24/3 = 8 and a quarter of 20 is 5 as 20/4 = 5 then 8 - 5 = 3
5/40, 1/8
1/8 one eighth
1/4 + 3/8 = 5/8
It is: 1/4 plus 3/8 = 5/8
3/8 plus 1/4 = 5/8
8 and one quarter add 8 and a half = 16
1 quarter = 1/4 = 2/8 = 16/64 = 3/12 = 5/20 = 15975635/63902540
(1/4) + (3/8) = (2/8) + (3/8) = 5/8
