Simplify. Answer in fraction form.
7/8−1/3
To subtract the fractions 7/8 and 1/3, we need to find a common denominator.
The common denominator would be 8 multiplied by 3, which is 24.
Now, we can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:
7/8 = (7*3)/(8*3) = 21/24
1/3 = (1*8)/(3*8) = 8/24
Now, we can subtract the fractions:
21/24 - 8/24 = (21-8)/24 = 13/24
So, the simplified form of 7/8 - 1/3 is 13/24.
To solve this, we need to find a common denominator for 8 and 3, which is 24.
Now, we convert both fractions to have a denominator of 24:
(7/8) = (7/8) * (3/3) = 21/24
(1/3) = (1/3) * (8/8) = 8/24
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, we can subtract them:
21/24 - 8/24 = (21 - 8)/24 = 13/24
So, the simplified answer is 13/24.
