Answer
2$\frac{3}{8}$
Work Step by Step
We start by subtracting the whole numbers: $8-6=2$. In order to add or subtract fractions, we start by making a common denominator (bottom of the fraction). Thus, we multiply 1/4 by 2/2 to obtain: $\frac{5}{8}$-($\frac{2}{8}$)=$\frac{3}{8}$. We add the 2 to get an answer of 2$\frac{3}{8}$.
