Answer:


(5)/(48)

Explanation:


\left((5)/(8) - (1)/(2)\right) * (5)/(6)

First, represent 1/2 as 4/8.


(1)/(2) * (4)/(4) = (4)/(8)


\left((5)/(8) - (4)/(8)\right) * (5)/(6)

Then, simplify the subtraction.


(1)/(8) * (5)/(6)

Finally, multiply the numerators and denominators of the resulting fractions.


(1 * 5)/(8 * 6)


(5)/(48)
