To find half of one and three eighths, we first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. One and three eighths is equivalent to 11/8. Half of 11/8 is 11/16. Therefore, one half of one and three eighths is eleven sixteenths.
One half "of" a number means one half "times" that number, so just multiply it. One and three eighths means one plus 3/8; you can either multiply 1/2 times 1 and 1/2 times 3/8 separately, then add the results (distributive property!), or first convert 1 3/8 to an improper fraction (11/8 in this case).
Well, darling, one half of one and three eighths is seven eighths. It's as simple as that. Math doesn't have to be complicated, honey, just add the fractions together and you'll get your answer.
Four eighths
three eighths
One-half of three-fourths is three-eighths.
one half because 4 eighths would be a half
1/2+3/8=7/8 -lover of math geeks ;) the common denominator is eight, so one half is converted into four eights. Then, three eighths plus four eighths is seven eighthts, so your answer is seven eighths. - A math geek
