Answer:

2/8 of the fifth graders are not in band

Explanation:

To find how many fifth graders are not in band, subtract the # of fifth graders in band. Your difference is the amount of fifth graders that are not in band. To check your answer add 2/8 + 6/8 which should be equal to 8/8 or a whole ( 1 ).
