5/8 - 5/24

I am doing some homework my brain isnt working right now can someone help me out?

Explanation:

Multiply top and bottom of 5/8 by 3 to get 15/24

This means 5/8-5/24 is the same as 15/24-5/24

The denominators are the same, so we can subtract the numerators to have them placed over the common denominator

15/24 - 5/24 = (15-5)/24 = 10/24

Then we reduce by dividing each part of the fraction by the GCF 2

10/2 = 5

24/2 = 12

Meaning that 10/24 = 5/12

Note how multiplying top and bottom of 5/12 by 2 leads to 10/24 again.

So overall,

5/8 - 5/24 = 5/12
