5 8th of a cup is 1/2 a cup plus 2 tablespoon
2 ounces is an 8th of a pound
There are two 8ths in one fourth.
5/6 - 1/8 / 1/2 = 5/6 - 1/4 = 10/12 = 3/12 = 7/12.
42/8, or 5 and 1 fourth
1/4
Four, because 4/8 = 1/2 There are obviously 8 1/8ths in a whole so half of that amount is obviously 4 1/8ths, which can be written as either 4/8ths or more correctly as 1/2.
2
2/8 is 1/4 which is a quarter which is 25%
Convert both numbers to a common denominator, in this case 8ths. This changes the problem to 2-and-1/8 (which is equal to 17/8-ths) minus 4/8. The answer is 13/8 which is the same thing as 1 and 5/8.
One fourth 1/4
It is: 2 minus 1 minus 1 = 0
