$\bf{1-(4)/(8)-(1)/(8) }$

Reduce the fraction 1/4 to its lowest expression by extracting and canceling 4.

$\bf{1-(1)/(2)-(1)/(8) }$

Convert 1 to the fraction 2/2.

$\bf{(2)/(2)-(1)/(2) -(1)/(8) }$

Since 2/2 and 1/2 have the same denominator, subtract their numerators to subtract them.

$\bf{(1-2)/(2)-(1)/(8) }$

Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.

$\bf{(1)/(2)- (1)/(8) }$

Convert 1/2 and 1/8 to fractions with denominator 8.

$\bf{(4)/(8)-(1)/(8) }$

Since 4/8 and 1/2 have the same denominator, subtract their numerators to subtract them.

$\bf{(4-1)/(8) \ \ \to \ \ \ Subtract }$

Subtract 1 from 4 to get 3.

$\bf{(3)/(8) \ \ \to \ \ \ Answer }$
