Yes half of 8 is 4 equaling 4/8. Since she knitted 5/8, then she knitted more than 1/2. Hope this helps:)
My friend... My method wasn't wrong and I couldn't find any mistake on my procedure... Check it out and analyze it by yourself...
1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2
I got 1/2 because if you add 1/4 and 1/4 you'd get 2/4, and when you simplify 2/4 you'd get 1/2.
Divide the amount she drove by the total amount she needs to drive, them multiply that answer by 100 to make it a percent. This will give you the percentage she drove. To find the percentage she has left,, subtract from 100%.
64 / 160 = 0.4
0.4 * 100 = 40% ( percent she has already driven)
100% - 40% = 60% left.
Orange first = 9/13
Blue next = 4/12
<span>P(both) = (9/13)*(4/12) </span>
<span>P(both) = 3/13 ~ 0.23</span>
