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
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.
