Convert 1 and 1/2 to eights to make it easier to subtract. 1 4/8 add 1 to 4/8
12/8 then subtract that by 7/8 straight across the numerator. That then equals 5/8
Answer:
a.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1 3/4 or 1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
An easy way to do this is to convert to decimals
1/4 = 0.25
2/4 = 0.5
3/4 = 0.75
Now, for the numbers for this problem.
2 3/4 would be equal to 2.75
3 1/2 would be equal to 3.5
Add those two numbers together and you get 6.25
Subtract that from 8 and you get 1.75 or 1 3/4
