Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \frac{1}{2} - ( \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} )[/tex]
Add the value of the numbers in parentheses.
[tex] \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{8} [/tex]
Simplify 2/8 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2.
[tex] \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/2 by 2 to have the same denominator as 1/4 in order to be able to subtract.
[tex] \frac{2}{4} - \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
