To find the difference of ( 1 frac{3}{8} – 1 frac{1}{8} ), we can approach it in several ways:
1. Subtraction in Mixed Numbers:
( 1 frac{3}{8} – 1 frac{1}{8} = (1 – 1) + left(frac{3}{8} – frac{1}{8}right) = 0 + frac{2}{8} = frac{1}{4} ).
2. Converting to Improper Fractions:
Convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions:
( 1 frac{3}{8} = frac{11}{8} ) and ( 1 frac{1}{8} = frac{9}{8} ).
Now subtract them:
( frac{11}{8} – frac{9}{8} = frac{2}{8} = frac{1}{4} ).
3. Using Addition as a Subtraction Method:
We can reframe the problem:
( 1 frac{1}{8} + ? = 1 frac{3}{8} ).
This leads us to determine that ? is ( 1 frac{3}{8} – 1 frac{1}{8} =
