Answer:
Fraction 3 over 8, because fraction 7 over 8 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 4 equals fraction 7 over 8 minus fraction 2 over 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rickey has [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] of a cup of cereal in a bowl.
He then gave two [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] or [tex]2\times \frac{1}{4}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex] cups of cereal from his bowl to his little sister.
Amount of cereal left in Rickey's bowl = [tex]\frac{7}{8}- \frac{2}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{7-4}{8}=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
So, the answer is -
Fraction 3 over 8, because fraction 7 over 8 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 4 equals fraction 7 over 8 minus fraction 2 over 4.
