Subtraction of fractions.
1/2 - 1/4
Bring both fractions to a common denominator of '4'
Hence
1/2 = 2/4
Hence
2/4 - 1/4
Subtract the numerators(top)
2-1 = 1
Hence the answer is 1/4 .
One quarter and a half
-7/8
0.25 - 0.5 = -0.25
one quarter 1/2 - 1/4 = 1/4 1/2 = 2/4 so 2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4 as 2 - 1 = 1
3/4 - 1/2 = 1/4 or one quarter.
