¼-⅜
The difference between ¼ and ⅜ is ⅛.
To subtract ⅜ from ¼, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert both fractions to have the same denominator.
To do this, find the least common denominator (LCD) of the fractions, which is 8 in this case.
¼ can be converted to the fraction with the denominator 8 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2:
¼ = (1 * 2) / (4 * 2) = 2/8
⅜ does not need any conversion since it already has the denominator 8.
Step 2: Subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same.
Subtract the numerators 2 and 3:
2/8 - 3/8 = (2 - 3) / 8 = -1/8
Therefore, ¼ - ⅜ = -1/8.
