Question

evaluate 3/8 + 1/2 - 1/8 in steps ​

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 +1/2 -1/8

LCM of 8,2,8 = 8

3/8 x 1/1 =3/8

1/2 x 4/4 = 4/8

1/8 x 1/1 = 1/8

so, 3/8 +4/8-1/8

7/8 -1/8= 6/8

3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

we first find the L.C.M (lowest common multiple) of 8 and 2 which is 8

So now to equal the denominators we have to multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/2 with 4

Therefore,

3/8 + 4/8 - 1/8

= 7/8 - 1/8

= 6/8

= 3/ 4 ( I have simplified the answer in this step)

(  In step 1, We have to add first according to the Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction rule or simply DMAS)
