Answer:
1
8
Step-by-step explanation:
What do we know:
John and George raked 7/8 of the yard.
John raked 3/4 of 7/8
What we need to know is:
How much did George rake?
How? Subtract the fractions given.
7 - 3
8 4
To do this we must make the denominator (bottom) number the same. How? Find the least common denominator for 8 and 4. Basically what is the lowest number that both 8 and 4 can be divided.
Answer is 8
8 divided by 8 is 1
4 divided by 8 is 2
so
7 - 3 ×2 6
8 4 ×2 = 8
7 _ 6 = 1
8 8 8 is how much George raked.
