Answer 1

I think the answer is 1/4 hope this helps you

Answer 2

First you would have to set it up so that the fractions line up: 7/8
- 5/8

Since the denominators (8) are the same, you can just subtract the numerators. You then get 2/8, which can be simplified. If you divide both the numerator and the denominator by two, then your final answer becomes 1/4.
