It is: 2 and 1/8 subtract 1 and 7/8 = 1/4
Subtract the other way, then add a minus sign. For example, to subtract 6 - 8, you subtract 8 - 6, get the answer 2, then add a minus sign to get -2. Don't forget to subtract numerators you need a common denominator first. For example 1/4 - 3/8 = 2/8 - 38 = -1/8
5 over 8 or 5/8. To add or subtract fractions you must reach the lowest common denominator, which in this case is 8. So we multiply both the top and bottom of 1/4 by to to get the bottom to equal 8. We end up with 2/8. Then we just subtract the top numbers 7-2=5. so we end up with 5/8.

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.
1/2 (one over two)
(7/8)-(5/8) =2/8 =1/4 or .25
It is: 2 and 1/8 subtract 1 and 7/8 = 1/4
1 over 8
1. Subtract 25 2. Then subtract 6 3. Then subtract 12 4. Then subtract 2 5. Then subtract 10 6. Then subtract 15 7. Then subtract 7 8. Then add 3 X 1/2 9. Then add 8
7/8 - 2/6 = 7/8 - 1/3 = 21/24 - 8/24 = 13/24
8 1/6 - 2 5/6 = 5 1/3. Here's how I did it. Borrow a 1 from the 8 and change it to 6/6 & add to 1/6, so you have 7 and 7/6. Subtract 5/6 from 7/6 = 2/6, which equals 1/3. Subtract 2 from 7 = 5.
7/8 - 6/8 = 1/8
Subtract the numerator Subtract or add the numerator Subtract or add the numerator ex: 3/4-1/4=2/4 or 1/2 ex: 5/8 + 1/8= 6/8 or 3/4
