Question

The difference between two fractions is 5 / 8. What could the fractions have been? Find three different pairs of fractions that have this difference. How many different answers could there be?

Answer 1

6/8 and 1/8, 7/8 and 2/8, 9/8 and 4/8. There are infinite answers.

Explanation:

To get the pairs of fractions, you just need to put a any number in a fraction over 8, and then subtract the fraction 5/8 from that fraction. There is an infinite number of pairs, because you can do this for every number and there are infinite numbers.
