Question

Anna ate 5/8 of an orange and gave the other 3/8 to her brother. Which equation can be used to find the difference between the amount Anna ate and the amount she gave her brother?

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

First of all the equation is subtracttion since they used to word *difference* which indicates subtract. To find the different between how much Anna at and how much she gave her brother we would subtract 5/8 by 3/8.

to solve this equation ( 5/8 - 3/8 ) the denominator of both fractions have yo be the same and that is true for this equation. Then you would subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. So the answer is 2/8
