Answer 2

Answer:

=> $\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{8}$

We have to simplify the above expression,

For solving first, we have to find the lowest common denominator:

$=>\frac{1\times 4}{2\times 4}+\frac{-1\times 2}{4\times 2}+\frac{5}{8}$

Multiplying the numerator and the denominator, we get

$=> \frac{4}{8}+\frac{-2}{8} +\frac{5}{8}$

Now, by combining the fractions we get

$=>\frac{4+(-2)+5}{8}$

Add the values in the numerator, we get

$=>\frac{7}{8}$

Hence, the value of the expression is $\frac{7}{8}$.
