Question

what is the difference of
\\(\frac{7}{8} - \frac{1}{3}\\)
(1 point)

\\(\frac{7+1}{8+3} = \frac{8}{11}\\)

\\(\frac{7-1}{8-3} = \frac{6}{5}\\)

\\(\frac{7x1}{8x3} = \frac{7}{24}\\)

\\(\\(\frac{7}{8} \times \frac{3}{3}\\) — \\(\\(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{8}{8}\\)\\)

owen and bella shared 1
granola bar. bella ate \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) of the
granola bar. owen ate \\(\frac{1}{3}\\) of the
bar.
how much of the granola bar is
left uneaten? (1 point)

\\(\frac{5}{7}\\)

\\(\frac{1}{24}\\)

\\(\frac{3}{8}\\)

\\(\frac{5}{12}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find common denominator for 7/8 - 1/3

Common denominator is 24.

Step2: Convert fractions

7/8 = 21/24, 1/3 = 8/24.

Step3: Subtract

21/24 - 8/24 = 13/24 (matches the fourth option's method).

Step4: Calculate uneaten granola

Total eaten: 1/4 + 1/3 = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12.

Step5: Find uneaten part

1 - 7/12 = 5/12.

Answer:

(7/8 × 3/3) − (1/3 × 8/8), 5/12
