Question

2/3 minus 5/8 what’s the answer

Answer 1

Hey there!

• $\frac{2}{3}$ $-$ $\frac{5}{8}$
• Change the "$subtract$" symbol to a $addition$ symbol
• $\frac{2}{3} + \frac{-5}{8}$
• $(-5)(3)$ $= -15$
• $2(8)$ $=16$
• $3$$(8)$ $=$ $24$
• $\frac{16}{24} + \frac{-15}{24}$
• Add "$16 + (-15)$" together
• $\frac{16+ (-15)}{24}$
• $16 + (-15)$ $= 1$
• $24$$= 24$
• Therefore, $\boxed{Answer: \frac{1}{24} }$

Good luck on  your assignment and enjoy your day!
