Yes half of 8 is 4 equaling 4/8. Since she knitted 5/8, then she knitted more than 1/2. Hope this helps:)

Answer:

Fraction of Scarf Knitted by Bess

\(=\frac{5}{8}\)

Remaining fraction of Scarf which is to be Knitted

\(1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8}\)

equivalent fraction in eighths for 1/2

\(=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{4}{4}\\\\=\frac{4}{8}\)

\(\frac{5}{8}>\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}\)

Yes, Bess has knitted more than \(=\frac{1}{2}\) of the scarf.
