Question

Help with Subtracting fractions plz ♡​

Answer 1

Hi there!

Simplfly 8:

`8= 7 (16)/(16)`

Now subtract:

`7-0=7`

`16-1=15`

Denominator stays the same so the answer would be 7 15/16.

Answer 2

`7(15)/(16)`

Explanation:

`8-(1)/(16)=(8)/(1)-(1)/(16)=(128)/(16)-(1)/(16)=(127)/(16)=7(15)/(16)`
