Question

5/7 - 3/9 = what is the answer for this problem can u explain how would I get the answer for this problem

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we should first have common denominators.

We should find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of the 2 denominators.

The LCM of 7 and 9 is 63.

Each fraction is out of 63, but whatever number you multiply to get 63, you use that same number for the numerator.

5 x 9 = 45, 3 x 7 = 21.

We have our problem, 45 / 63 - 21 / 63.

Subtract the 2 numerators.

45 - 21 = 24.

Our answer is 24 / 63.

We need to simplify this problem.

Both numbers are divisible by 3.

Divide both Terms, or numbers by 3.

24 / 3 = 8.

63 / 3 = 21.

8 / 21 is our answer simplified.

Therefore, your difference is 8 / 21.

Best of Luck to you.
