Converting this to eights, it becomes: 2 eights + 4 eights + 1 eight = 7 eights.

1/2 * 3/8 = 3/16
Four Eighths are equal to 1/2.
"Half" is the same as 1/2. To calculate how many eighths are in a half, compare 1/2 to 1/8. The denominator of 1/2, 2, will go into the denominator of 1/8, 8, 4 times (8 divided by 2). So there are 4 eighths in a half.
Converting this to eights, it becomes: 2 eights + 4 eights + 1 eight = 7 eights.

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
1/2 of 2/8 is 1/8.
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 1/2. One quarter equals two eights. 2 1/2 quarters equals five eights.
One half (1/2) is greater than three eights (3/8) because one half is equal to four eights (4/8).
2
1/2 is greater because one half is equivalent to 50% to get 50% out of eights the numerator has to be 4.
1/2 * 3/8 = 3/16
Four Eighths are equal to 1/2.
