Hello There!
Priya has a piece of string which is 5/6 yard long. She cuts 3/5 of string for a project. What is the length of the string she has left?
Left is a key word for subtract.
The equation is 5/6 - 3/5 = ?
The LCD ( Least Common Denominator ) is 30
5 x 5 3 x 6
--------------- - -------------
6 x 5 5 x 6
25 18 7
-------- - -------- = -------
30 30 30
[ The denominator stays the same]
So, 5/6 - 3/5 = 7/30
Hope this helped!
