It looks like the expression you provided is not fully clear due to placeholders or missing information. Could you please clarify or provide the complete expression? This will allow me to assist you accurately!

-1/2
-3/8
5/4
7/8

It seems like you have provided a list of fractions, possibly as options for evaluating an expression. To evaluate, let me clarify if we are looking at a specific expression that includes these fractions.

If your expression involves these fractions in some way (like adding, subtracting, etc.), please specify the operation or context in which to evaluate them.

If you simply want to compare them or find which one is the largest or other related operations, here are the fractions for clarity:

  • A: \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
  • B: \(-\frac{3}{8}\)
  • C: \(\frac{5}{4}\)
  • D: \(\frac{7}{8}\)

If the task is comparing these:

  1. \(-\frac{1}{2}\) is equivalent to \(-0.5\)
  2. \(-\frac{3}{8}\) is equivalent to \(-0.375\)
  3. \(\frac{5}{4}\) is equivalent to \(1.25\)
  4. \(\frac{7}{8}\) is equivalent to \(0.875\)

Ordering from least to greatest, we get:

  • \(-\frac{1}{2}\) (\(-0.5\))
  • \(-\frac{3}{8}\) (\(-0.375\))
  • \(\frac{7}{8}\) (\(0.875\))
  • \(\frac{5}{4}\) (\(1.25\))

If you provide the specific expression or operation, I would be more than happy to help you evaluate it!

1/4-(-5/8)

To evaluate the expression \( \frac{1}{4} - \left(-\frac{5}{8}\right) \), we can first simplify the expression by recognizing that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number. Thus, we can rewrite the expression as:

\[ \frac{1}{4} + \frac{5}{8} \]

Now, we need a common denominator to add these two fractions. The least common denominator (LCD) of 4 and 8 is 8.

We can convert \( \frac{1}{4} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 8:

\[ \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{2}{8} \]

Now, we can add the two fractions:

\[ \frac{2}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{2 + 5}{8} = \frac{7}{8} \]

Thus, the final result of the expression \( \frac{1}{4} - (-\frac{5}{8}) \) is:

\[ \frac{7}{8} \]

could you say the answer again pls? write the fractions like this, EXAMPLE: 1/2 not like this (-\frac{5}{8}\)

Certainly! The answer to the expression \( \frac{1}{4} - \left(-\frac{5}{8}\right) \) is:

7/8
