Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 - 1/8 = (6 - 1)/8 = 5/8

Let us see how we have obtained the above solution in detailed steps.

Step 1. Write the fractions as given

3/4 - 1/8

Step 2. Find LCM of 4 and 8 using prime factorization

4 = 2 × 2

8 = 2 × 2 × 2

Thus LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8

Step 3. Divide the LCM by the denominators

8 ÷ 4 = 2 and 8 ÷ 8 = 1

Step 4. Multiply the respective quotients with their numerators

3 × 2 = 6

1 × 1 = 1

Step 5. Perform subtraction of the second number from the first one

6 - 1 = 5

Step 6. Write the required fraction with Step 5 number in its numerator and Step 2 LCM in its denominator

Answer:

=> \frac{5}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

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

To find:- The value of the expression:

In order to solve that, we have to use the concept of BODMAS

As we have,

=> \frac{3}{4} -\frac{1}{8}

First of all, we have to find the LCM:

=> \frac{3\times 2}{4\times 2} +\frac{-1}{8}

=> \frac{6}{8} +\frac{-1}{8}

Now, combine the fractions:

=> \frac{6+(-1)}{8}

Add the terms, in the numerator:

=> \frac{5}{8}

Hence, the required solution is \frac{5}{8}.
