Question

Find the difference between 6/7 and 2/3 in lowest terms.

Answer 1

As per the problem,

we have been asked to find the difference of the given fractions.

The given fractions are $\frac{6}{7} \ and \ \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{6}{7}-\frac{2}{3}$

Make denominator equal and simplify we get

$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{7}-\frac{2}{3} =\frac{6}{7}*\frac{3}{3}-\frac{2}{3}*\frac{7}{7} \\\\\Rightarrow \frac{6}{7}-\frac{2}{3} =\frac{18}{21}-\frac{14}{21} \\\\\Rightarrow \frac{6}{7}-\frac{2}{3} =\frac{18-14}{21}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{6}{7}-\frac{2}{3} =\frac{4}{21}$

The difference of the given fractions=4/21

Answer 2

6/7 - 2/3                LCD of 3 and 7 is 21 so we have
18/21 - 14/21

= 4/21 Answer
