Answer: 3=24/8 24/8 - 1/8 = 23/8 or 2 7/8

Explanation:

Exchange 3 into 24/8 which is still 3 but in 8th’s. Then subtract 1/8 from 24/8 which is 23/8 or 2 7/8

Answer:

23/8 or 2 7/8

Explanation:

3 cakes means there is 8/8 in each cake.

So

8/8 + 8/8 + 8/8 = 24/8

Then Stacey is saying that she had 1/8 of 1 cake left, so if we subract 1/8 from 24/8 we will have our answer to be 23/8 or 2 7/8
