Subtract the whole numbers
(2-1) - (1/2 - 7/8)
= 1 + (4/8-7/8) change fractions to eights
= 1 + (-3/8) subtract the fractions
= 8/8 - 3/8 (change 1 into 8/8)
= 5/8
To find out how much less three-eighths is than one-half, first convert one-half to eighths. One-half is equivalent to four-eighths. Subtracting three-eighths from four-eighths gives you one-eighth. Therefore, three-eighths is one-eighth less than one-half.
Two eighths = one quarter
Three eighths is the same as six sixteenths - half of six sixteenths is three sixteenths
41/8 - 5/8 = 33/8 - 5/8 = 28/8 = 7/2 = 31/2 You seem to be unaware of the fact that you could have obtained the answer much more easily and quickly by using the calculator that comes as part of your computer.
