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>

Lines g and h are parallel and m 2 = 110°. what is m &lt;6 A 6° B 70° C 110° D 180°
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

m<6 =110°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

line g and h are parallel lines

And whenever two lines are parallel

then it's corresponding angles must be equal

We have corresponding angles as

<1 , <5 ; <2 , <6

so,

<2=<6

now, we are given

<2=110°

so, we get

<2=<6=110°

so, answer is

m<6 =110°

Step-by-step explanation:

The required number consists of digits 3,5,7,9.

3 in 843 appears in the units place. In the required number 3 has a value which is ten times that in 843. So in the required number 3 appears in the tens place.

9 in 34629 appears in the units place. In the required number 9 has a value which is hundred times that in 34629. So in the required number 9 appears in the hundreds place.

7 in 4782 appears in the hundreds place. In the required number 7 has a value which is ten times that in 4782. So in the required number 7 appears in the thousands place.

5 is in the remaining place.

So the required number is 7935
