Answer 2

3/8

Explanation:

Step 1: Multiply the denominator and the numerator of 1/4 by 2 to get a common denominator between the two. (1/4 and 5/8 is now 2/8 and 5/8)

1*2= 2; 4*2= 8, so you get 2/8 (which is equal to 1/4)

Step 2: When you get 2/8, subtract:

5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8

And... since 2/8 is equal to 1/4, 3/8 is the answer :)

Hope this helps :)
