Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 1/2 x 7/8 = 7/16 or seven sixteenths. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 0.4375.
Half of seven eights is three fourths
Three eights. There are four eights in one half.
The final answer would be three and three-eighths. Here's how to solve it mentally.You have to set their denominators [bottom numbers] equal. So, keep seven eights, since two ["half"] goes into eight, but you must make 2 and a half into 2 and four eights, because four is half of eight. Pretend for a minute that the four eights isn't there. So, 2 and seven eights. Then, add one from the four eights, so that it will now be 3., and so that the four eights is now three eights. So, 3 and three eights.Sorry. I'm not very good at explaining, but I hope that helped. ^^"
Seven eights plus three eights is ten eights. Now, possibly you intended to ask about eighths, rather than eights. Ten eighths is equal to one and a quarter. However, ten eights is equal to 80. The extra h makes a difference.
one half because 4 eighths would be a half
Half of seven eights is three fourths
0.875
1½ = Twelve eighths so the answer is seven-eighths
2 fourths is a half. (Seven eights minus a half) 7 x 8 - 0.5 = 55.5 (Seven eights minus a half) 7/8 - 1/2 = 3/8
Three eights. There are four eights in one half.

7/8 minus 1/2 is 3/8.
It is 7/16.

1 and 3/8
Yes. three eights plus one eight equals 4 eights, or one half
4... i think
