Answer 1

The first box is 4. The second is 3. The bottom box is 8.

Explanation:

1/2=4/8.

4/8-1/8=3/8

Answer 2

first box (x) = 4

second box (y) = 3

3rd box (z) = 8

Explanation:

we can equate both side of equality and can solve separately.

`(1)/(2) - (1)/(8) = (x)/(8) - (1)/(8)`

`taking \: \: lcm \: \: on \: \: both \: \: side \\ \\ (4 - 1)/(8) = (x - 1)/(8)`

multiplying both side by 8

we get ,

`4 - 1 = x - 1 \\ \\ 3 = x - 1 \\ \\ adding \: 1 \: \: on \: \: both \: \: side`

3+1 = x-1+1

4 = x

`(1)/(2) - (1)/(8) = (y)/(z)`

`(4 - 1)/(8) = (y)/(z)`

`(3)/(8) = (y)/(z)`
