If you mean 8 and 7/12 subtract 2 and 3/8 then it is 6 and 5/24
No, that's 3/4
(3/2)-(5/8) = 7/8 or 0.875
3/8 minus 1/2 is -1/8
To subtract (4) eighths from (1 \frac{2}{8}), first convert (1 \frac{2}{8}) to an improper fraction: (1 \frac{2}{8} = \frac{10}{8}). Then, subtract (4) eighths: (\frac{10}{8} - \frac{4}{8} = \frac{6}{8}). Simplifying (\frac{6}{8}) gives (\frac{3}{4}). Thus, (1 \frac{2}{8} - 4 \text{ eighths} = \frac{3}{4}).
3 eighths. three fourths is the same as six eighths, so subtract your 3/8 and you have 3/8 left

3 eighths. three fourths is the same as six eighths, so subtract your 3/8 and you have 3/8 left
To add 3 eighths and 1 fourth, first convert 1 fourth to eighths: 1 fourth equals 2 eighths. Now, add 3 eighths and 2 eighths together: 3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8. Therefore, 3 eighths plus 1 fourth equals 5 eighths.
2/3
1/2 minus 7/8 equals -3/8
To find out how many eighths are in 3 fourths, you need to convert 3 fourths to eighths. Since 1 fourth is equivalent to 2 eighths, you can multiply 3 fourths by 2 to get the answer. Therefore, there are 6 eighths in 3 fourths.
Firstly it is easiest if you convert them into full fractions (with no whole numbers on the side so the fraction is top heavy)4 x 12 = 487 + 48 = 56So 4 and 7 twelves is equal to 56 twelvesSimilarly we can work out 3 and 11 twelves3 x 12 = 3611 + 36 = 47So this is equal to 47 twelvesBecause the denominator is the same, you can simply subtract the nominator:So you have 56 twelves subtract 47 twelves56 - 47 = 9. so the answer is 9 twelvles.This can then be simplified by dividing by three to get,The answer is 3/4 (three quarters).
