Answer:

7/8 - 1/4 = 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 7/8 - 1/4 = ?

So you need to have a common denominator for both fractions in order to subtract the two.

In order to make 7/8 and 1/4 have a common denominator, multiply 1/4 by 2. Then it becomes 2/8.

Now you can subtract the two fractions because they both have a common denominator.

7/8 - 2/8 = 5/8

Answer:

128 ft sq.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way you find the area of a square is by multiplying one side by another, and since it is a square, the sides are the same. This means that if we have a square with a side length of x, the way to find the area of that square is to multiply x by x, which can be written as $x^2$ . Now, since we're doubling this, we can say that double Mary's garden is $2 * x^2$ . If we substitute 8 in for x, we have to multiply $8^2$ by 2 or 8 by 8 by 2 to find our answer. 8 times 8 is 64 and 64 times 2 is 128.
