Question

Rewrite each expression as a single fraction 3/8-1/6

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression,

$\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{6}$

Since,  8 = 2 × 2 × 2, 6 = 2 × 3

L.C.M. ( 8, 6 ) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24,

$\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3\times 3}{24}=\frac{9}{24}$

$\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1\times 4}{24}=\frac{4}{24}$

$\implies \frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{6} = \frac{9}{24} - \frac{4}{24} = \frac{9-4}{24}=\frac{5}{24}$
