Question

choose a number line that shows how chip can move \\(\frac{1}{8}\\) to the left.
show eighths.
next, rewrite the command to show how many eighths are in \\(\frac{1}{2}\\).
new command 2: start at \\(\frac{4}{8}\\). move \\(\frac{1}{8}\\) to the left.
complete the equation to show chips new location.
\\(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{4}{8} - \frac{1}{8}\\)\\(= \frac{?}{?}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract numerators

$\frac{4 - 1}{8}$

Step2: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{3}{8}$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8}$
