Question

find the difference 1/8(-8/3-1/8)?

Answer 1

Is this the expression?\[\frac18 \times \left( -\frac83-\frac18 \right)\]

Answer 2

no instead of multiplying I need to subtract the rest is correct =)

Answer 3

So you mean...\[\frac18 -\frac83-\frac18\]

Answer 4

yes, but with the brackets, does it make a difference?

Answer 5

It shouldn't. If the brackets were like this it would...\[\frac18-\left( \frac83-\frac18 \right)\]But you could leave the brackets as find the common denominator of 8/3 and 1/8. You would get the same answer.
