Question

What is half of 8 5/8

Answer 1

Answer:

4 $\frac{5}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

So if you multiply $\frac{69}{8}$ by $\frac{1}{2}$, you would get $\frac{69}{16}$ , which you could then simplify to

4$\frac{5}{16}$ , which is your answer.

Answer 2

It is 4 5/16 (I’m positive)
