Is it 5/8(1/4 / 1/2) or 5/8-(1/4 / 1/2)?

For 5/8-(1/4 / 1/2) solve what is in the parenthesis first.

(1/4 / 1/2) is the same thing as (1/4 x 2/1)
To make fraction division problem a multiplication problem you use the reciprocal of the second number.

So your problem is 5/8-(1/4 x 2/1)
1/4 x 2/1 = 2/4 or 1/2 (multiply the top numbers then multiply the bottom numbers)

5/8-2/4
You need to find the common denominator, which is 8.
2/4 = 4/8

5/8-4/8=

1/8

= 5/8 - (1/4 divided by 1/2)

= 5/8 - 1/4*2/1

= 5/8 - 1/2

= 1/8

1/4 divide by 1/2 is 2/4 which is 4/8, 5/8 minus 4/8 equal to 1/8

second question looks lik 5/8 times 4/8 which will be equal to 5/16

1/2. 5/8 minus (2/8 divided by 1/2= 1/8) so 5/8 minus 1/8 equals 4/8 or 1/2.

1/8

Ans: 5/16

Is that a "minus"? In the 2nd line, there is no "-", so I took it as "multiply".

5/8 * (1/4 ÷ 1/2) =
5/8 * (1/4 • 2/1) =
5/8 * 1/2 = 5/16
