Mathematics

Answer: 3/8

Explanation: To subtract unlike fractions such as 5/8 - 1/4, first find a common denominator. The common denominator of 8 and 4 will be the least common multiple of 8 and 4 which is 8.

Notice that our first fraction already has 8 in the denominator so it stays the same. To get 8 in the denominator of 1/4, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 2/8.

Now we have 5/8 - 2/8.

To subtract like fractions, we simply subtract the numerators to get 3 and keep our denominator of 8 and we have 3/8.

Since 3/8 is in lowest terms, it's our final answer.

Therefore, 5/8 - 1/4 = 3/8.
