Answer:

I'm not quite sure how to interpret the above equation so I solved it two ways and you can pick which way you meant.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2 \times \frac{1}{2} - 1 \times \frac{3}{8} \\ \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{(8 \times2) - (2 \times 3)}{2 \times 8} \\ \frac{16 - 6}{16} = \frac{10}{6} = \frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]2 \frac{1}{2} - 1 \frac{3}{8} \\ \frac{5}{2} - \frac{11}{8} = \frac{(8 \times 5) - (2 \times 11)}{2 \times 8} \\ \frac{40 - 22}{16} = \frac{18}{16} = \frac{9}{8} = 1\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
