What is 8 − 714
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct the calculation.
To subtract 7 1/4 from 8, we can first convert the mixed number 7 1/4 into an improper fraction.
7 1/4 = (7 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 29/4
Now we can subtract:
8 - 29/4
To subtract, we need a common denominator. The denominator of 8 is 1, so we multiply the numerator and denominator of 8 by 4:
8/1 * 4/4 = 32/4
Now, we have:
32/4 - 29/4 = (32 - 29)/4 = 3/4
Therefore, 8 - 7 1/4 is equal to 3/4.
