Question

1 and 1/8 - 5/8 please help

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question Unclear but

Solving 1 - 5/8;

Taking LCM we have;

(1 x 8) / (1 x 8) - 5/8

8/8 - 5/8

i.e. -3/8

Solving 1/8 - 5/8 gives -4/8

The two values aren't same. Also, -3/8 > 4/8 so if you subtract 5/8 from 1 then it will give a greater value than when it is subtracted from 1/8.
