The divisor and dividend have the same signs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at all of the possible outcomes of dividing with different signs.

Positive / positive = positive

Positive / negative = negative

Negative / positive = negative

Negative / negative = positive

We can see that whenever the signs are the same, the quotient is positive.

Estimate 10/12 − 3/8 using benchmark values. Your equation must show the estimate for each fraction and the final estimate for t

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: $\frac{11}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Give expression is,

$\frac{10}{12}-\frac{3}{8}$

Since L.C.M ( 12, 8 ) = 24

$=\frac{10\times 2}{12\times 2}-\frac{3\times 3}{8\times 3}$

$=\frac{20}{24}-\frac{9}{24}$

$=\frac{20-9}{24}$

$=\frac{11}{24}$

$\text{Hence, }\frac{10}{12}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{11}{24}$
