Subtract 2 3/8-1 2/8

Answer 1

To subtract these fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.

First, convert the whole numbers to fractions:
2 3/8 = (2 * 8 + 3) / 8 = 19/8
1 2/8 = (1 * 8 + 2) / 8 = 10/8

Now, subtract the fractions:
19/8 - 10/8 = (19 - 10) / 8 = 9/8

So, 2 3/8 - 1 2/8 = 9/8
