5/16 is the one half of fraction 5/8
To find half of a fraction, we need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
Given fraction: 5/8
To find half of this fraction , we divide the numerator (5) by 2:
5 ÷ 2 = 2.5
Now, we divide the denominator (8) by 2 as well:
8 ÷ 2 = 4
Therefore, half of 5/8 is 2.5/4.
However, it is common practice to simplify fractions , so let's reduce this fraction:
Since 2.5 and 4 have a common factor of 0.5, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 0.5:
2.5 ÷ 0.5 = 5
4 ÷ 0.5 = 8
So, half of 5/8 is 5/8 (which is the same as the original fraction).
