Solve 1+3/8-1+1/8

$$1 + \frac { 3 } { 8 } - 1 + \frac { 1 } { 8 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{2}=0.5$$

Solution Steps

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{8}{8}.

$$\frac{8}{8}+\frac{3}{8}-1+\frac{1}{8}$$

Since \frac{8}{8} and \frac{3}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{8+3}{8}-1+\frac{1}{8}$$

Add 8 and 3 to get 11.

$$\frac{11}{8}-1+\frac{1}{8}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{8}{8}.

$$\frac{11}{8}-\frac{8}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Since \frac{11}{8} and \frac{8}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{11-8}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Subtract 8 from 11 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Since \frac{3}{8} and \frac{1}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3+1}{8}$$

Add 3 and 1 to get 4.

$$\frac{4}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$
