Question

factor 1/8 out of 1/8x-49/8

Answer 1

1/8x - 49/8...u can factor out 1/8
1/8(x - 49)

u can even check ur answer by distributing the 1/8 thru the parenthesis
1/8(x - 49) = 1/8 * x - 1/8 * 49 = 1/8x - 49/8 (correct)

Answer 2

ANSWER

$\frac{1}{8} x - \frac{49}{8} = \frac{1}{8} (x - 49)$

EXPLANATION

We want to factor
$\frac{1}{8}$
out of
$\frac{1}{8} x - \frac{49}{8}$

We need to rewrite the above expression to obtain,

$\frac{1}{8} x - \frac{49}{8} = \frac{1}{8} x - \frac{1}{8} \times 49$

We can see clearly now that there is a factor of
$\frac{1}{8}$
common to both terms.

We take this factor out to obtain,

$\frac{1}{8} x - \frac{49}{8} = \frac{1}{8} (x - 49)$
