five sixths because it is more than half
The algebraic expression for "8 more than half a number" can be represented as ( \frac{x}{2} + 8 ), where ( x ) represents the unknown number. This expression first calculates half of the number by dividing it by 2, then adds 8 to the result.
Answer One half is the same as four eighths, so five eighths is one eighth more.
