Question

Solve for the Simplest form

Answer 1

How to solve:

$\frac{5}{6}$ - $\frac{3}{8}$

Write all numerators above the least common denominator which is 24 in this case.
$\frac{20-9}{24}$

Subtract the numbers
$\frac{11}{24}$

Alternate form: 0.458333

The final, simplified, fraction answer is: $\frac{11}{24}$

Answer 2

The answer is $\frac{11}{24}$
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$\frac{5}{6}$ - $\frac{3}{8}$
First, make their dinomenators equal:
$\frac{5×4}{6×4}$ - $\frac{3×3}{8×3}$
=
$\frac{20}{24}$ - $\frac{9}{24}$
=
$\frac{20-9}{24}$ = $\frac{11}{24}$
