Sagot :

[tex]\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4}{8}[/tex]

Then

[tex]\frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{8}-\frac{4}{8}=\frac{5-4}{8}=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

This is the same as if you removed 4 pieces of 1/8 from the 5 pieces of 1/8, resulting in 1 piece of 1/8.

Therefore, the result of the subtraction is

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
