Is 3/8 Greater Than 1/2?

I know fractions can be confusing but an easy way to know which is bigger is by dividing, like this:

3/8 ----> 3 divided by 8 = 0.375
1/2 ----> 1 divided by 2 = 0.50

By looking at the decimal point numbers you can tell that 1/2 is greater than 3/8.

Hope this helps!

To find out the larger fraction we at first need to find out the L.C.M of denominators i.e.2 and 8, which is 8.  Now,we will make the denominators equal to 8 and then compare.    1/2=1/2 x 4/4=4/8 and  3/8=3/8 x 1/8=3/8    Comparing the above results we can say that 4/8>3/8  Hence,1/2>3/8    Therefore, 1/2 is larger than 3/8.

Nope, 3/8 is less than half so 1/2 is greater than 3/8.

Yes

1/2 = 4/8          (half is equal to 4/8 because the half of 8 is 4)

but,

4/8 > 3 /8

therefore,            1/2 > 3/8

No because 3/8 rounds to 4/8 which is 1/2. So 1/2 = 1/2.

3/8 is 1/8 smaller than a half

Is 1 2/3 greater than or less than 1 5/6

Yes

Is 1/2 + 5/8 greater or less than 1 hole

As 1/2 is equal to 4/8, 3/8 would definitely be smaller than 1/2...

No because 4/8 equals 1/2

Is 1/2 bigger than 1/8

1/2 is larger than 3/8.

Nope

Is 5/8 larger then 3/8

Yes it is

1/2 is bigger

No because if you compare them with the most common denominator you can see the 1/2 is greater.

3/81/2 * 4/4 = 4/83/8 > 4/8 FALSE

Is 3/8  a half or not. ? Work that out if you can and then you have your primary school answer!

No.  Do your own homework.

1/2 is greater

1\2

Yes.  Geez.
