Question

Complete. Subtract 1- 1/8=

Answer 1

`(7)/(8)`

Step-by-step explanation

remember the rule to subtract 2 fractions

`(a)/(b)-(c)/(d)=(ad-bc)/(bd)`

hence

`1-(1)/(8)`

* in cases of whole numbers let 1 as denominator,so

`(1)/(1)-(1)/(8)`

do the subtraction by following the rule

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(1)-(1)/(8)=(1*8-1*1)/(1*8) \\ (1)/(1)-(1)/(8)=(8-1)/(8) \\ (1)/(1)-(1)/(8)=(7)/(8) \end{gathered}`

Step 2

now,let

`1=(8)/(8)`

now,replace anddothe subtraction

`\begin{gathered} (8)/(8)-(1)/(8) \\ (8)/(8)-(1)/(8)=(8-1)/(8)=(7)/(8) \end{gathered}`

therefore, the answer is

`(7)/(8)`
