The answer is 8 4/8 or when reduced is 8 1/2.
3/8
three eights
2
Converting this to eights, it becomes: 2 eights + 4 eights + 1 eight = 7 eights.
_76
if 4 and eight eights is subtracted by 3 and three eights, then you get 1 and five eights
3 and 7 eights
2 1/2
* -5/8
5/8 minus 1/2 is 1/8.
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 3/4 - 5/8 = 1/8 or one eighth.
2 fourths is a half. (Seven eights minus a half) 7 x 8 - 0.5 = 55.5 (Seven eights minus a half) 7/8 - 1/2 = 3/8
