Question

What is half of 8 5/8

Answer 1

4
`(5)/(16)`

Explanation:

To solve, you can convert the mixed number into a fraction, so 8
`(5)/(8)`=
`(69)/(8)`, then you will divide by 2, which would be the same as multiplying by
`(1)/(2)` because you would keep the first fraction, switch the sign and flip the second fraction.

So if you multiply
`(69)/(8)` by
`(1)/(2)`, you would get
`(69)/(16)` , which you could then simplify to

4
`(5)/(16)` , which is your answer.

Answer 2

It is 4 5/16 (I’m positive)
