Answer: 5/12
====================================================
Explanation:
Multiply top and bottom of 5/8 by 3 to get 15/24
This means 5/8-5/24 is the same as 15/24-5/24
The denominators are the same, so we can subtract the numerators to have them placed over the common denominator
15/24 - 5/24 = (15-5)/24 = 10/24
Then we reduce by dividing each part of the fraction by the GCF 2
10/2 = 5
24/2 = 12
Meaning that 10/24 = 5/12
Note how multiplying top and bottom of 5/12 by 2 leads to 10/24 again.
So overall,
5/8 - 5/24 = 5/12
