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
seven eights. 1 half = 4 eights add 3 eights and you get 7 eights.
2
one and seven eighths
Half of seven eights is three fourths
Five eights plus seven eights is twelve eights. 12/8 is 8/8 and 4/8 is 1 4/8 is 1 1/2 (one and a half)
0.875
Five and seven eighths
Seven eighths 7/8
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
