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. ^^"
Converting this to eights, it becomes: 2 eights + 4 eights + 1 eight = 7 eights.
6 eights
12/8 or 1 and 1/2
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.
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
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)
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
2
Converting this to eights, it becomes: 2 eights + 4 eights + 1 eight = 7 eights.
5
6 and 3/8
1 3/8 or 11/8 or one and three eighths.
7 eights or 56
It is: 7/8+1/2+1/4 is the same as 7/8+4/8+2/8 = 13/8 or 1.625
7/8 minus 1/2 is 3/8.
If you mean 7/8 minus 1/2 then it is 3/8
The meaning of the question is ambiguous. Five eights is 5*8 = 40 Two eighths (?) is 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25 So the sum would be 40.25 Alternatively five eights plus two eights = seven eights = 7*8 = 56
