Answer 2

Answer : The answer of the expression $3\frac{1}{8}-1\frac{7}{8}$ is, $1\frac{2}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation :

Mixed number : It is a combination of a whole number and a fraction.

As we are given the expression.

$3\frac{1}{8}-1\frac{7}{8}=?$

Now we have to determine the value of this expression.

$3\frac{1}{8}-1\frac{7}{8}$

First we have to convert the mixed fraction into fraction form.

$3\frac{1}{8}=\frac{25}{8}\\\\1\frac{7}{8}=\frac{15}{8}$

So,

$\frac{25}{8}-\frac{15}{8}$

Now taking LCM, we get:

$\frac{25-15}{8}$

$\frac{10}{8}$

Now written in mixed fraction.

$1\frac{2}{8}$

Thus, the answer of the expression $3\frac{1}{8}-1\frac{7}{8}$ is, $1\frac{2}{8}$
