In math, with fractions, "of" always means the same as "times." So 7/8 of 16 is the same as 7/8 * 16. Make 16 a fraction by putting 1 as its denominator, and you have 7/8 * 16/1. Multiply the numerators and denominators, and you get 112/8. Now reduce. Since both 112 and 8 are even, we know we can divide both by 2 to get 56/4. Still even, let's divide by 2 again. 28/2. One more division, and we get 14/1, which is just 14.
There is an easier way for this specific problem. Since the denominator of 7/8 is a factor of 16, we can change 7/8 to match the denominator to the integer. In this case, 7/8 = 14/16. Here again, we see that 14 is the answer.
7/16
2 4/5
7 8ths = 7/8
7 8ths = 7/8 = 0.875
No. There are 16 cups to a gallon. 2/8ths of a gallon is 4 cups- much larger than 7/8ths of one cup.
It works out as 109/16 or 6.8125
fraction 3 8ths of 16 = 63/8 * 16 = 48/8 = 6
It is 16.It is 16.It is 16.It is 16.
33 & 3/4. Twice 16 is 32, and twice 7/8 is 14/8 which is 1 & 6/8 (or 1 & 3/4)
11/12ths is larger than 7/8ths.
1 and 3/8ths is the same as 8/8ths + 3/8ths. This is summed to 11/8ths. Half of that would be 11/16ths.
5 8ths 7/8 x 5/7 = 35/56 = 5/8
