No, 3/8 is not bigger than a half (1/2); a half (1/2) is larger than 3/8, because 1/2 is equal to 4/8, and 4/8 is greater than 3/8. You can visualize this on a ruler where 1/2 inch is further along than 3/8 inch, or by converting to decimals where 0.5 (1/2) is greater than 0.375 (3/8).
there are an infinite number of answers to this question. Here are some possibilities: 2/3, 3/4, 3/5, 4/5, 5/6, 4/7, 5/7, 6/7 and so on.
The lines at each rank get shorter, ie: 1/4 is shorter than 1/2; 1/8 is shorter than 1/4; and 1/16 is shorter than 1/8. Fractions have two parts, the numerator and the denominator. The denominator is the bottom number and it tells us what unit of fraction we are working with (ie: it denotes fourths, halves, etc.)
So, 4 eighths make a half.
The fraction that is less than 3/8 is 0 1/4. In decimal form, this fraction is equal to 0.25. To find this fraction, we can divide 1 by 4. Since the numerator is smaller than 3 and the denominator is smaller than 8, 0 1/4 is less than 3/8.
As long as the denominators are the same, the fraction with the greater numerator is the greater fraction, as it contains more parts of the whole. The fraction with the lesser numerator is the lesser fraction, as it contains fewer parts of the whole.
Answer: Half of 3/8 is 3/16.
One half is equivalent to the fraction: 1/2. Therefore, it is half of any amount. Halves are calculated by dividing by 2.
For example, one half (1/2) of a birthday cake is the same amount as two quarters (2/4) or four eighths (4/8). We can write the equivalence as 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8.
Eighths of an inch (1/8") There are eight of them between each inch mark.
0.3 is greater than 0.25. 0 • 25 can be written as 0 • 3 as no: 5 and more than 5 can be taken as 0 • 3.
