5 over 8
1 and a half
7 over 8 = 7/8 = .875 1 and a half = 1.5 = 3/2 = 1.5 .875 - 1.5 = -.625 or (this is the way i do it) you change 1/2 to 4/8 so it becomes 7/8-4/8. so 7-4 is 3. so the answer is 3/8
3/4x5/2= 3x5=15 over 2x4=8 = 15/8 = 1and 7/8.
7/16
It is 8.

81/2 − 7/8 = 75/8
5/8 is greater than half (4/8) while 7/20 is less than half (10/20). So without doing any other calculations one can say that 5/8 is bigger.
5 over 16 is half of 5 over 8
3/4x5/2= 3x5=15 over 2x4=8 = 15/8 = 1and 7/8.
