Question

Evaluate 5/8-(1/4)2=

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

Because of BEDMAS, we first multiply, then subtract.

We multiply 1/4 and 2, getting 2/4, or 1/2.

Then, our expression becomes 5/8 - 1/2.

We can evaluate:

5/8 - 1/2 = 5/8 - 4/8 and simplify, getting 1/8.

Answer 2

0.125

Explanation:

(5 divided by 8) - ((1 divided by 4) x 2) = 0.125
