Question

Solve 2 1 /8- 3 1/4 step by step explanation

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To get a denominator of 8 for 1/2, we multiple the numerator and denominator by 4, giving us 4/8. To get a denominator of 8 for 1/4, we multiple the numerator and denominator by 2, giving us 2/8. Now we have three fractions with the denominator of 8. We need to add 4/8 + 2/8 + 1/8.

Answer 2

$2 \frac{1}{8} - 3 \frac{1}{4}$

First of all we have to do

It's in mixed fractions

So we have to convert in Improper fraction

Convert in Improper fraction

$\frac{2 \times 8 + 1}{8} = \frac{17}{2} \\ \\ \frac{3 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}$

After this we have to do Subtraction

$\frac{17}{2} - \frac{13}{4}$

We have to take LCM of 2,4 = 4

$\frac{34 - 13}{4} \\ \\ \frac{21}{4}$

5 1/4 is the answer
