4 and 1/8 minus 2 and 5/8 = 3/2 or 1 and 1/2
1/2 plus 2/8 = 4/8 + 2/8 = 6/8 = 3/4
1/4 - 1/8 = 2/8 - 1/8 = 1/8
To subtract 1/4 from 1/8, you have to find the LCM, which is 8. 1/4 has to be changed to eighths, which is 2/8. 1/8 - 2/8 is -1/8.
4/8 can be simplified into 1/2. So 1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/42/4 + 2/8 = 3/4
1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4
5 over 8 = 5/8 1 over 4 = 1/4 = 2/8 5/8 + 2/8 = 7/8 Answer: 7 over 8
4 and 1/8 minus 2 and 5/8 = 3/2 or 1 and 1/2
1/2 plus 2/8 = 4/8 + 2/8 = 6/8 = 3/4
2/8=1/4
1/4 - 1/8 = 2/8 - 1/8 = 1/8
To subtract 1/4 from 1/8, you have to find the LCM, which is 8. 1/4 has to be changed to eighths, which is 2/8. 1/8 - 2/8 is -1/8.
4/8 can be simplified into 1/2. So 1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1 and 3 over 4 plus 2 and 3 over 8 in fraction = 33/8 1 3/4 =1 6/8 = 14/8 2 3/8 =2 3/8 = 19/8 ============= sum = 4 1/8 = 33/8
4 over 8 is the same as 1 over 2, so 1 over 2 plus 1 over 2 (.5+.5 OR 1/2 +1/2) is 1. The answer is 1.
5/8 ÷ -1/4 = 5/8 × -4/1 = -5/2 = -2½
