I have been absent for a few days and have not quite learned this material. It would help me if somebody could start me off by helping solve this, thanks!

1/8h - 1 = 3/8 (1/8 and 3/8 are fractions)
 
first, add 1 to both sides.
1/8h = 3/8 + 1
1 is the same as 8/8
1/8h = 3/8 + 8/8
1/8h = 11/8
to divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal ( the top # and the bottom # flipped)
so, h = 11/8 * 8/1
the 8 cancels the other 8. h=11
