Answer 2

Answer:

c)11/16inch

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the L.C.M of the denominators i.e 8 and 16.

8=2×2×2

16=2×2×2×2

So,There are three two's common.So,2×2×2×2=16

Therefore the L.C.M is 16

Then,Let's match the fractions with the LCM.

7/8=8×2=16 So 7×2=14=14/16

3/16=16 ×1=16 3×1=3 So no change.

Then we have to subtract.Now the fractions are like so we can subtract.

14/16-3/16=11/16(Because the fractions are like so we will subtract the denominators,only numerators)

Therefore,the answer is 11/16 inch
