Best Answer

5 over 8 or 5/8. To add or subtract fractions you must reach the lowest common denominator, which in this case is 8. So we multiply both the top and bottom of 1/4 by to to get the bottom to equal 8. We end up with 2/8. Then we just subtract the top numbers 7-2=5. so we end up with 5/8.
