1−3/5=3/5
1 - 3 5 = 3 5
5/8−3/8=2/8
5 8 - 3 8 = 2 8
8/8−3/8=5/8
8 8 - 3 8 = 5 8
1/5/8−3/8=1/2/8
1 5 8 - 3 8 = 1 2 8

The subtraction problem Alicia showed with the fraction strips refers to the use of the 5 one-eighth strips. Since 5 one-eighth strips are displayed and 3 one-eighth strips have been removed, the subtraction equation can be represented as:
5/8 - 3/8 = 2/8.
Therefore, the correct response is:
5/8−3/8=2/8.
5/8 - 3/8 = 2/8.
Therefore, the correct response is:
5/8−3/8=2/8.
