-1/2 – (-5/8)=
-1/2 + 5/8) =
LCF(2, 8) = 8
(-4 + 5)/8 = 1/8
Answer is 1/8.
<:>
you want a common denominator for this one. so, -1/2 can become -4/8 for our purposes. now you have:
-4/8 - (-5/8)
two negatives make a positive, so we can simplify to:
-4/8 + 5/8
add across the numerators, to give us our answer which is:
1/8
-1/2 = -.5
-5/8 = -.625
-.5 - (-.625)= ?
-.5 + .625 = ?
.125
-0.5 + 1.125 = 0.625
that's your answer.
