Question

The correct fraction in the box $\square$ is $\square$ $-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$

(a) $\frac{6}{8}$
(b) $\frac{7}{8}$
(c) $\frac{1}{2}$
(d) None of these

Answer 1

(b) $\frac{7}{8}$
$$\begin{gathered} \square -\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1}{4} \\ \square =\frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{8} \\ \mathrm{LCM}\mathrm{of}4\&8\mathrm{is}8. \\ \square =\frac{1\times 2}{4\times 2}+\frac{5\times 1}{8\times 1} \\ \square =\frac{2}{8}+\frac{5}{8} \\ \square =\frac{2+5}{8} \\ \square =\frac{7}{8} \end{gathered}$$
