How to subtract a negative fraction from a positive fraction?

Mathematics
1 answer:
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>

A whale weighs 4 tons. A great white shark weighs 10,200 pounds. How many
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

<em>C: The shark weighs 2200 pounds more than the whale.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have to remember first that one ton is equal to 2,000 pounds. Then, we convert tons to pounds (for the whale) to get 4(2,000)=8,000 pounds. So, the whale weighs 8,000 pounds. The shark weighs 10,200 pounds, so all you have to do now is do 10,200-8,000 to get 2,200 pounds.  So, the answer is C.
