Question

What does 1/4 subtract 1/11 equal

Answer 1

Answer:

7/44

Step-by-step explanation:

you can't simply subtract 1/11 from 1/4 because the denominators are not the same . Meaning you have to convert the denominators into a similar number. Transformers in even number and a consecutive number while 11 is an odd number and a prime number they don't really agree on anything 11 can only be divided by itself and 1 wall for can be divided by a multitude of things. Because of them not exactly agreeing on any specific category , you have to multiply them by each other . So your new fractions should look like 11 / 44 and 4 / 44 . from there you can easily subtract 4 from 11 and get 7 / 44 now normally you can reduce these types of fractions but because seven can only be divided by itself and 44 is not a factor of 7 you cannot reduce this fraction .
