How many eighths in 7 whole ones please tell me how to work these types of questions out I beg.This might be in the 11 plus for me

Verified Answer :

You just multiply the 2 numbers (for e.g. If you wanted to find out how many ninths are in 6, you just multiply the 2 numbers 9 x 6 = 54, so there are 54 ninths in 6)
Hope this helps. Xx

Solution:

Number of Eights in 7 whole ones

  It means you have to divide 7 things into 8 equal parts.

\(\frac{1}{8} th\) of 1 = \(1 \times \frac{1}{8} =\frac{1}{8}\)

Similarly, \(\frac{1}{8}]^{t h}\) of 2 = \(2 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{2}{8}\)

\(\frac{1}{8}]^{t h} of 3 = 3 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{8}\)

..............................

...........................

\(\frac{1}{8}]^{t h} of 7 = 7 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{7}{8}\)

Total number of eights in 7 whole ones = \(\frac{7}{8}\)
