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
Four and one half (4.5) minus one and one quarter (1.25) equals three and one quarter (3.25). To calculate this, you can convert both numbers to fractions: 4.5 is 9/2 and 1.25 is 5/4. Subtracting these gives you (9/2 - 5/4), which simplifies to 3.25.
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.
If it's "one minus quarter," it means you subtract a quarter of an hour from one o'clock. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes, so one minus quarter would be 12:45. Therefore, the time is 12:45.
One and a half minus one and a half is zero.
To subtract one quarter from seven eighths, first convert one quarter to eighths. One quarter is equal to two eighths. Therefore, seven eighths minus two eighths equals five eighths. So, seven eighths minus one quarter equals five eighths.
One half minus one fifth is 3 tenths
One eighth is a half of one quarter - if that is what the question was.
