Question

Perform the following operation:

$\frac{3}{8}-$$\frac{1}{8}$ = .

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{1}{8}$
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$
• D. $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{4}$

As we can see $\frac{3}{8}$ to $\frac{1}{8}$ are like fractions, So subtracting them is quite easy, just subtract the numerators
i.e, $\frac{3}{8}$$-\frac{1}{8}$ = $\frac{(3-1)}{8}$ = $\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$ .
