Answer:
3/4
Explanation:
8 subtracted by 7 1/4.
8/1 - 7 1/4
7 and 1/4th is a mixed number, so we turn it into an improper fraction. We do that by multiplying the whole number by the denominator, and then adding the numerator to the product.
7 x 4 = 28
Then, we add the numerator, 1. 28+1 = 29.
Finally, we solve the equation.
8/1 - 29/4 =
We need the common denominator, in this case, it's 4.
8/1 - 29/4 = _/4 - _/4
8/1-29/4 = 32/4 - 29/4 (What we do the bottom, we do to the top.)
32/4 - 29/4 = 3/4
Therefore, the answer is 3/4.
