Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:
7/8 - 3/8
Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.
7 - 3 = 4
So answer is:
4/8
Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Combination for the school government requires:</u>
- 5 out of 8 seniors = 8! / 3!5! = 6*7*8/2*3 = 7*8 = 56
- 4 out of 9 juniors = 9! / 4!5! = 6*7*8*9/2*3*4= 7*2*9 = 126
- 3 out of 12 sophomores = 12! / 3!9! = 10*11*12/2*3 = 10*11*2 = 220
- 2 out of 7 fishermen = 7! / 2!5! = 6*7/2 = 21
<u>So number of total ways is:</u>
Answer:
6/9, 12/18 (just 6 then 12)
Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore x(x+1)≤0, and if two numbers multiply to a negative number, one of them has to be negative and the other has to be positive. In this case, because x+1>x, x≤0, and x+1≥0
Therefore -1≤x≤0, and x can take up the value of any real number in the interval [-1,0]
