(7/8-3/4)*16
To solve the expression (7/8 - 3/4) * 16, follow these steps:
Firstly, convert all the fractions so they have a common denominator. In this case, both fractions already have a common denominator, which is 8.
Subtract the second fraction from the first one: 7/8 - 3/4 Since 3/4 is equivalent to 6/8 (because 3 * 2 = 6 and 4 * 2 = 8), we can write the expression as: 7/8 - 6/8
Now subtract the numerators: 7 - 6 = 1 So: 7/8 - 6/8 = 1/8
Now multiply the resultant fraction by 16: 1/8 * 16
To make the multiplication easier, you can think of 16 as 16/1 and then multiply across: (1 * 16) / (8 * 1)
Perform the multiplication: 16 / 8
Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the common factor 8: 16 / 8 = 2
So the result of the expression (7/8 - 3/4) * 16 is 2.
