Solve: \(\frac{5}{8} - \frac{1}{2}\)

Explanation

Our denominators are 8 and 2. What we need to do is find the lowest common denominator of the two numbers, which is 8 in this case. Now that these fractions have been converted to have the same denominator, we can subtract one numerator from the other to make one fraction, which is \(\frac{1}{8}\)
