To evaluate \( \left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{4}\right)-\frac{7}{8} \), let's first simplify inside the parentheses. Convert \(\frac{1}{2}\) into a fraction with a denominator of 4: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4} \] Now, add \(\frac{2}{4}\) and \(\frac{3}{4}\): \[ \frac{2}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \] Now we subtract \(\frac{7}{8}\) from \(\frac{5}{4}\). First, we need a common denominator for \( \frac{5}{4} \) and \( \frac{7}{8} \). The common denominator is 8. Convert \(\frac{5}{4}\): \[ \frac{5}{4} = \frac{10}{8} \] Now perform the subtraction: \[ \frac{10}{8} - \frac{7}{8} = \frac{3}{8} \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \frac{3}{8} \]
