Three eighths is the same as six sixteenths - half of six sixteenths is three sixteenths
Expresed as a vulgar fraction in its simplest terms, 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 = 15/16, or fifteen sixteenths.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------one half = eight sixteenthsone fourth = four sixteenthsone eighth = two sixteenths(8+4+2+1) sixteenths = 15 sixteenths = 15/16 = 0.9375
Instead of "a half", write "eight sixteenths". That doesn't change the value of any numbers, but it makes it a lot easier to subtract the three sixteenths from the eight sixteenths.
half of 7/16 = 7/32

something
One half one half would be equal to 8 sixteenths, and 7 is less than eight, thusly
five sixteenths
56 of them.
16
Half of 3/16 is 3/32.
16 sixteenths equal one whole. So 16/2 = 8 sixteenths = half a whole.
16 sixteenths equal one whole. So 16/2 = 8 sixteenths = half a whole.
