Answer 2

$\sf\huge\bold{Answer:}$

Given :

$= - \frac{ 5}{ 8} + \frac{3}{8}$

Solution :

Step 1 : Since,denominators are same,combine the term

$= \frac{ - 5 + 3}{8}$

Step 2 : solving numerator

Since,the larger term 5 has negative sign the resultant number after their subtraction will also be negative

$= - \frac{ 2}{8}$

Step 3 : Simplifying the fraction by cutting the terms

${=}$$\displaystyle{\sf { \cancel{ \frac{-2}{8} }}}$

$= - \frac{1}{4} ..$

(on the table of 2)

Hence,

$\implies \: - \frac{5}{8} + \frac{3}{8} = - \frac{1}{4}$
