8 - \(\frac{1}{4}\)
First, make the denominators the same. / Your problem should look like: 8 × \(\frac{4}{4}\) - \(\frac{1}{4}\) .
Second, simplify. Denominators are now the same. / Your problem should look like: \(\frac{32}{4}\) - \(\frac{1}{4}\) .
Third, join the denominators. / Your problem should look like: \(\frac{32 - 1}{4}\) .
Fourth, simplify. / Your problem should look like: \(\frac{31}{4}\) .
Fifth, convert to mixed fraction. / Your problem should look like: \(7 \frac{3}{4}\) which is your answer.
