What is seven eighths minus one fourth?

first find a common denominator

the common denominator is 8

since the denominator of the fraction 7/8 is already 8, it stays the same

now for the second fraction, since the denominator is 4 and you multiply 4 by 2 to get 8, multiply the numerator of the fraction1/4 by 2 as well

now your two fractions are 7/8-2/8

since the denominators are the same you just have to subtract the numerators

7-2=5

the answer is 5/8

Hoped this helped :)

the answer to this in exact form is 4/35 but in decimal form its 0.1142857

hope this if needed hmu
