To solve this problem we change the structure from

1/2 + ? = 7/8

to

7/8 - 1/2 = ?

Now we need to subtract the fractions and find the difference. To do this, make the denominators (the bottom numbers on the fractions) the same.

1/2 = 4/8

then subtracts the numerator

7/8 - 4/8 = 3/8

there is your answer... 3/8
