Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let's do the first one first.

You want to make the fraction have the same denominator (bottom number). So, in this case, we have 3/8 and 3/4. If we want them to have the same bottom number, we keep 3/8 how it is, and multiply 2/2 by the 3/4 to get 6/8. So, now we have 3/8 + 6/8. 3/8 + 6/8 = 9/8.

Now, we have 1/3 + 1/6. So, we are going to do the same thing, keep the 1/6, and multiply 1/3 by 2/2, so that the bottom number is equal to the other fraction's bottom number. So, 1/3 x 2/2 = 2/6. Now, we have the equation 2/6 + 1/6. 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6.

Now, we have this final equation: 9/8 - 3/6. So, now we need to find the denominator that both of them can deal with. So, in this case, we can do 24.

9/8 x 3/3 = 27/24

3/6 x 4/4 = 12/24

Now, we subtract:

 27/24

- 12/24

_______

15/24.

Now, we simplify.

15 divided by 3 = 5.

24 divided by 3 = 8

So, 5/8 is our final answer.
