5/12 is less than 1/2 because 6/12 = 1/2
Therefore, there are not enough 1/12 pieces to equal or exceed 1/2.

If there is a circle if you split that in half and ate it, that is 1/2. If you split the pizza in 12 pieces and ate 5, that is 5/12. Half a pizza left is bigger than 5/12 of one

How much is three more than the square of 8?

kari74 [83]

3² equals nine, so the square root of eight has to be less than three.
The square root of eight is 2.82 rounded to the nearest hundredth. So 3 is approximately 0.18 more than the square of eight.

Hope this helps
