How to subtract a negative fraction from a positive fraction?

Mathematics

ikadub [295]3 years ago

Let's take an example to illustrate this case:

<span>positive fraction = 2/7
</span>
<span>negative fraction = - 3/5

Now we need to subtract  </span><span>- 3/5 from 2/7

Right?

2/7 - (-3/5) = 2/7 + 3/5

here we need to unify the denominators as follows:

the lowest common factor between 7 and 5 is 35
2/7 = 10/35
3/5 = 21/35

Now back to </span><span>2/7 + 3/5:

</span><span><span>2/7 + 3/5 = 10/35 + 21/35 = (10+21)/35 = 31/35

That's it




Hope that helps you</span>

lorasvet [3.4K]

40 minutes is 2/3 of an hour.

30 miles per hour x 2/3 hour = 20 miles.

30 minutes = 1/2 hour.

60 miles per hour x 1/2 hour = 30 miles.

Total = 20 + 30 = 50 miles.
