Question

2/3 minus 5/8
what’s the answer

Answer 1

Hey there!

• 
  `(2)/(3)`
  `-`
  `(5)/(8)`
• Change the "
  `subtract`" symbol to a
  `addition` symbol
• 
  `(2)/(3) + (-5)/(8)`
• 
  `(-5)(3)`
  `= -15`
• 
  `2(8)`
  `=16`
• 
  `3`
  `(8)`
  `=`
  `24`
• 
  `(16)/(24) + (-15)/(24)`
• Add "
  `16 + (-15)`" together
• 
  `(16+ (-15))/(24)`
• 
  `16 + (-15)`
  `= 1`
• 
  `24`
  `= 24`
• Therefore,
  `\boxed{Answer: (1)/(24) }`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
