Question

Easy math.... Fractions 8/12 - 3/36 = ? Simplify your answer

Answer 1

Hey!

The first step to answering this question would be to change the denominator so that they are the same.

Old Fraction :

$\frac{8}{12}$

New Fraction {Changed Denominator} :

$\frac{24}{36}$

Now we'll plug our new fraction into our equation.

New Equation :

$\frac{24}{36} - \frac{3}{36} = ?$

Solution {New Equation Solved} :

$\frac{21}{36}$

New Solution {Simplified} :

$\frac{7}{12}$

Since the equation can be simplified no more, the correct answer is $\frac{7}{12}$.

Hope this helps!
