Question

How many $\frac{1}{8}$'s are there is $37\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer 1

$37.\frac{1}{2}=\frac{75}{2}$

we will divide this by $\frac{1}{8}$

$=\frac{\frac{75}{2}}{\frac{1}{8}}$

$=\frac{75}{2}.\frac{8}{1}$

$=\frac{75.8}{2}$

$=300$

Hence, there are $300$ ${\frac{1}{8}}^{\prime }$s in $37\frac{1}{2}$
