Answer:

The person above is correct

Explanation:

When subtracting fraction you should make sure the deniminators (bottom number of fraction) of both fractions are the same number so you can subtract evenly. Also note whatever you do to the deniminator, you do to the numerator (top number). In this example you turn 1/2 to 4/8 in order to subtract.
