Answer 1

Answer: 1/2-5/8=-1/8 is the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same

If the denominators are same then just find the difference of numerators.(eg:12/2-3/2)

Step 2: If the bottom numbers are different cross multiple the fraction, multiply both denominators  value and substract the value

Here given,

1/2-5/8

Here you can see that denominators of given fraction are different.

$\frac{(1*8)(5*2)}{2*8}$=$\frac{8-10}{16}$

-2/16=-1/8

1/2-5/8=-1/8 is the solution
