Draw diagrams to show them sum 7/8-4/8=

Answer 1

To find the sum of 7/8 - 4/8, you can draw rectangular diagrams to represent each fraction.

First, draw a rectangle divided into 8 equal parts. Shade in 7 of the parts to represent 7/8.

Next, draw another rectangle divided into 8 equal parts. Shade in 4 of the parts to represent 4/8.

To subtract the two fractions, you can physically remove the shaded part of the second rectangle from the shaded part of the first rectangle.

After removing 4 shaded parts from the 7 shaded parts, you are left with 3 shaded parts in the first rectangle.

So, 7/8 - 4/8 = 3/8.
