OpenStudy (naruto75):

help

OpenStudy (welshfella):

difference between what and what?

OpenStudy (naruto75):

5 half

OpenStudy (naruto75):

3 4/7

OpenStudy (mathmale):

5 half of what? We're not giving you a hard time; on the contrary, we're trying to understand what sort of math problem you're dealing with. You may need to spend more time describing the problem if you want help.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

5 1/2 - 3 4/7 ?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You want to compare 5 half and 3 4/7 ??

OpenStudy (naruto75):

yes

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please, invest more time in presenting your math problems here, so that others don't need to guess what you want. 5 half is meaningless; you meant "5 halves," or 5/2.

OpenStudy (naruto75):

what

OpenStudy (welshfella):

or do you mean five and a half?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

These are serious questions, naruto75. To receive accurate help, we need to know what you want. 5 half doesn't mean anything to me. All that welshfellow or I can do is to make educated guesses..."perhaps naruto75 meant 5/2, perhaps he meant 5 1/2, perhaps he meant 5.5. Exactly what is it that you want to know here?
