What is 2 and 1 8th subtract 1 and 7 8th?
It is: 2 and 1/8 subtract 1 and 7/8 = 1/4
How do you subtract a bigger numerator from a smaller numerator?
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
What is 7 over 8 - 1 over 4?
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.
What do you subtract from 49 over 6 to make 8?
1//3
What is 5 over 8 minus 1 over 4 equal?
5/8 - 1/4 = 5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8 (make all fractions equivalent fractions with a common denominator - in this case, a common denominator of 8 - and then subtract the numerators).
