- 1-1/16
- 1-1/8
Correct Answer

A. 1-1/8

Explanation

The given expression is a subtraction of two fractions. To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8. So, we convert 2/8 to 1/4 and 1/16 to 1/8 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2 and 4 respectively. Now, we can subtract the fractions by subtracting the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. The result is 1-1/8.
