You find the LCM of the denominators in the fractions, then you multiply both fractions as needed till both have like denominators. Then you subtract.

For example:

5/9 - 2/4

LCM of 9 and 4 is 36

[(5 x 4)/(9 x 4)] - [(2 x 9) - (4 x 9)]
= 20/36 - 18/36
20/36 - 18/36 = 2/36
2/36 = 1/18

hope this helps ya!

Question 1
arlik [135]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be done without the Distance Formula (which is a way to find the distance between any two points in the plane).

The attached image shows the points and segments joining them.

PQ = 5 because the points are on the same horizontal line, and you can count spaces between them (or subtract x-coordinates: 4 - (-1) = 5).

PR = 12 because the points are on the same vertical line; count spaces or subtract y-coordinates, 7 - (-5) = 12.

The triangle is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the length of the hypotenuse.

(\text{leg})^2+(\text{leg})^2=(\text{hypotenuse})^2

(QR)^2=5^2+12^2=25+144=169\\QR=\sqrt{169}=13

The perimeter of the triangle is 5 + 12 + 13 = 30
