Question

Why it takes more 1/8s than 1/4s to make a fraction equivalent to 1/2?

Answer 1

Because math these days are nothing to what we have in the past

Answer 2

1/8 is half the size of 1/4, so it takes twice as many of them

Explanation:

Suppose you have 8 identical objects.

Half of them is 4 objects.

One-quarter of them is 2 objects. It will take 2 quarters to make half (4 objects).

One-eighth of them is 1 object. It will take 4 eighths to make half (4 objects).
