Step one is to simplify and remove those pesky fractions. 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) means \(\frac{1}{2}\) 2. What is half of 2? 1.
8\(\frac{3}{8}\) means 8 \(\frac{3}{8}\). Since the number you're trying to find a fraction of is equal to the denominator (8 and 8), then the numerator is left as is. This part of the equation is 3.
All that's left is to subtract! 3 - 1 is 2. Your answer is 2.
