Gabriella bought a pile of bricks to build a brick wall. She has already used 5/8 of the bricks. Tomorrow, she plans to use another 1/4 of the bricks.

What fraction of the bricks will she have left to use after tomorrow?


1 - (5/8 + 1/4) = 1 - 7/8 = 1/8 of the bricks


Gabriella would have 1/8 of the bricks left to use after tomorrow.
