We need a common denominator before we subtract. Both numbers go into 8. 5/8 stays as 5/8 and 1/2 becomes 4/8

Now we can subtract: 5/8 - 4/8
All we have to do is subtract the numerators (5 - 4) and keep the same denominator.

5 - 4 = 1

The answer is <span>1/8.</span>

Help me find y and z? Thanks!

Genrish500 [490]

There is 180deg in a half circle, and 360deg in a full circle. complementary angles complete a half circle perfectly.
angle z is complementary to 111deg.
z= 180 - 111= 69deg
z= 69deg
There are 360 total degrees in the figure because it makes one total revolution.
y= 360- 69- 94- 88
y= 109deg
Check - 109 +69 +94 +88= 360
