7/8 - 1/4 - 1/2= ??
madreJ [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break this up into pieces, first we do, 7/8 - 1/4, find the least common denominator which is 8, so the equation will be 7/8 - 2/8, which we can now subtract and will give us, 5/8, now that we have done that, we can do 5/8 - 1/2. Since we know that half of 8 (our denominator) is 4. Then the equation would be 5/8 - 4/8, which brings us to 1/8 as our final answer.

Cheers!
