no, it dose not.
four and seven eights
Four quarters is a whole. That's what the word "quarter" means.
Two of them because 4/8 plus 4/8 = 1
it is four divided by five eights
A quarter is four parts of a whole, while a third is three parts of a whole. Therefore, a quarter is smaller than a third.
Four sixteenths is one quarter, or one over four. That is what it simplifies to. It is not a whole number.
Yes
35/8
Well, it should be 32. Four quarter notes in a whole, two halves in a whole, two eights in a quarter, two sixteenths in an eighth, so two thirty seconds in a sixteenth. A thirty second means "one thirty second of a whole (note)", so the answer is 32.
