What is a hole number? Is this about golf?
A fraction such as "3 over 4" should be written 3/4. You need to use symbols instead of words.
what is less than 1 hole
To solve this expression, you need to find a common denominator for the fractions involved.
The denominators in this case are 8, 4, and 2. To find the least common multiple of these numbers, you can factorize them as follows:
8 = 2^3
4 = 2^2
2 = 2^1
To find the least common multiple (LCM), you need to take the highest power of each prime number that appears in the factorization of any of the numbers. In this case, the LCM is 2^3 = 8.
Now, you can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator of 8:
1/8 - 3/4 + 1/2 = (1 * 1)/(8 * 1) - (3 * 2)/(4 * 2) + (1 * 4)/(2 * 4)
= 1/8 - 6/8 + 4/8
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, you can combine them:
1/8 - 6/8 + 4/8 = (1 - 6 + 4)/8
= -1/8
Therefore, the result is -1/8.
