For this, you use the Law of Distribution and multiply -1 by all terms in the parentheses. 7 • -1 = -7; -c • -1 = c. Then you combine them, but since c is a variable, -7 + c is the most simplified it can get. I hope this helped!
Answer:
3/8 chocolate chips
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 needs to have the same denominator as 7/8
2 * 4 = 8 (denominator) but what you do for the denominator has to apply for the numerator.

so now you successfully converted 1/2 to 4/8.
Now you solve, total - items you have = how much you need
7/8 - 4/8 = 3/8
