Answer:
Subtract:
2/3 - 1/2 = 2/3 • 2/2 - 1/2 • 3/3 = 4/6 - 3/6 = 4-3/6 = 1/6
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(3, 2) = 6. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 3 × 2 = 6. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.
In words - two thirds minus one half = one sixth.

Answer:
20.5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The population is given by the exponential function ...
p = 16000·(1 +0.022)^t
When p = 25000, we can find the value of t by taking logarithms.
log(25000/16000) = t·log(1.022) . . . . . divide by 16000, take the log
t = log(25/16)/log(1.022) ≈ 20.5 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t
It will take about 20.5 years for the population to reach 25000.
It’s false because you can never divide by zero unless it’s a fraction then it’d be automatically 0
