When subtracting fractions with the same denominator (in this case 8) you only have to worry about the numerator (7&3)

ANSWER - 7/8-3/8= 4/8

Now since you can simplify 4/8 you would divide both by 4 and your simplified answer is 1/2.

Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:

7/8 - 3/8

Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.

7 - 3 = 4

So answer is:

4/8

Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2

Suppose the large number of auto accidents in a small town results in new legislation that requires all citizens of the town to
tangare [24]

Answer:

a. decrease

b. recklessly

c. increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the large number of auto accidents in a small town results in new legislation that requires all citizens of the town to install new anti-lock brakes on their cars. These new brakes cut the time it takes a car to stop by 50%, allowing drivers to avoid collisions with other cars and pedestrians more easily. The new brakes <u>decrease</u> the probability that a vehicle will collide with another vehicle but also give drivers an incentive to drive more <u>recklessly</u> which could potentially <u>i</u><u>ncrease</u> the number of car accidents.

Because the new brakes cut the time it takes a car to stop by 50%, allowing drivers to avoid collision easily, drivers may become confident and drive recklessly which could potentially increase the number of car accidents

likoan [24]
Think of it like this
-3 means move 3 spaces back (or left)
+4 means move 4 spaces forward (or right)

so, from 0, move 3 spaces left
then move 4 spaces right
end up with 1 space right or +1
