No.Convert both to decimal or a fraction then the comparison can be made:To decimal:5/8 = 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625 > 0.5 Thus 0.5 is not greater than 5/8To fraction:0.5 = 5/10 = 1/2 Change the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator (bottom numbers) and compare the numerators (top numbers):lcd of 2 and 8 is 8, thus:1/2 = 4/8 < 5/8Thus 0.5 is not greater than 5/8

What is 1 eighth plus 1 half using unlike fractions?
1/2 and 1/8 have different denominators. If I (or you) were to change 1/2 into 4/8, which I (or you) can do because 4/8 is a half and a half is 1/2. Basically 4/8=1/2. But if we change 1/2 to 4/8 and left 1/8 as 1/8, they would both be like fractions.
