Answer:

3/8

Explanation:

you have to find the LCM (least common multiplier) of 2,and 8 and that would be 8 therefore youd change the fractions from 1/2-1/8 to 4/8-1/8 you subtract the tops and keep the bottoms the same as 8. so 4-1=3 therefore the anwser would be 3/8

Answer:

3/8

First convert 1/2 into eights. 1/2 as eighths is 4/8.
