How to subtract a negative fraction from a positive fraction?

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>

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

2,889 digits

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pages of the book = 999 pages

Page 1 - 9 cut separately = 9 digits

Page 10 - 99 = 90 pages

Total digits = 2(90)

= 180 digits cut separately

Page 100 - 999 = 900 pages

Total digits = 3(900)

= 2,700 digits cut separately

how many separate digits does Kai have when he is finished

Total separate digits Kai have when he is finished = 9 digits + 180 digits + 2700 digits

= 2,889 digits

Total separate digits Kai have when he is finished = 2,889 digits

Brian &amp; Paul share a lottery win of £7800 in the ratio 1 : 4. Brian then shares his part between himself, his wife &amp; the
Elza [17]

Answer:

The wife gets £468 over the son

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we shall calculate the total amount Brian made from from what he and Paul won.

The ratio is 1:4, meaning for every 2 part Brain takes, Paul takes 4

Paul’s share is thus 1/5 * 7800 = 7800/5 = £1560

Now we have another ratio for sharing the amount Brain has at home.

The total ratio here is 1+6+3 = 10

The share of the wife will be 6/10 * 1560 = 6 * 156 = 936

The son share is half of this which is 936/2 = 468

The difference between their shares is £936-£468 = £468
