1/2 - 3/8 = 1/8
2 1/2
7/8 - 1/2 = 7/8 - 4/8 = 3/8
1 fourth and 1 half do not equal 3 eighths (nor 3 eights!).
seven eights. 1 half = 4 eights add 3 eights and you get 7 eights.
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
3/8
1 and 3/8
1/2 - 3/8 = 1/8
3 and 7 eights
7/8 minus 1/2 is 3/8.
If you mean 7/8 minus 1/2 then it is 3/8
2 1/2
7/8 - 1/2 = 7/8 - 4/8 = 3/8
if 4 and eight eights is subtracted by 3 and three eights, then you get 1 and five eights
1 fourth and 1 half do not equal 3 eighths (nor 3 eights!).
seven eights. 1 half = 4 eights add 3 eights and you get 7 eights.
