You need to have a common denominator. 24 would be a good one.
8 goes into 24 3 times, so 3 times 3 is 9 and the equivalent first fraction is 9/24.
for the second fraction 3 goes into 24 , 8 times and 8 times 1 is 8,
so the second fraction is now 8/24.
You now have 9/24 - 8/24 = 1/24.

3/8 * 3/3 = 9/24
1/3 * 8/8 = 8/24

9/24 - 8/24 = 1/24

Note that 3/3 and 8/8 are both = 1. Multiplying a number by 1 gives the same number.

find the common denominator

which is 24 so then convert

3/8 + _/24
so to find that out do 24/8 and you get 3 so then to make it equivalent multiply 3 by 3 and u get 9 so that is 9/24

so then change it 9/24 –1/3

u have to convert that to and the common denominator is 24 so u get ?/24

find out how many time 3 goes into 24 and that’s 8 multiply the numerator by 8 and u get 8

so now u have 9/24-8/24 and u get 1/24

it’s in simplest form so don’t simplify!

its been YEARSSSSSSSSSSS since I've been in school, but I'm thinking you need to have common denominators...
3/8=9/24
1/3=8/24
so 9/24-8/24=1/24

if the question is written as a fraction, then the answer should be as well. Same for decimals.

I am sorry for saying so, but you are a complete moron if you cannot solve this problem. If you are younger than 13, then you should study fractions for the next year without stopping. If you are older, just except the fact that you are as dumb as they come.

1/24
