Subtract 1/8 from 7/8.

• A. 1/2
• B. 7/8
• C. 3/4
• D. 1/4

Answer: (C)

When subtracting fractions with the same denominator, keep the denominator and subtract the numerators. Here the denominator is 8, so 7 minus 1 equals 6, giving 6/8. Then simplify by dividing top and bottom by 2 to get 3/4. So the result is three quarters. The other options don’t fit: 1/2 is 4/8, 7/8 would mean subtracting zero, and 1/4 is 2/8.
