How do you subtract fractions

Mathematics
2 answers:
MrMuchimi3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Follow the steps listed in the step-by-step explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make sure both fractions have a common denominator. This is so you can subtract the fractions smoothly, and because when you do anything with fractions they typically must have the same denominator.

Second, subtract the numerators and leave the denominator as the same.

Finally, simplify the answer.

This is because in math, it is always preferred that you have the most simplified answers as your final answer.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step 1. Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same

Step 2. Subtract the top numbers (the numerators). Put the answer over the same denominator.

Step 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed).

Step-by-step explanation:

example using step 3

3/4-1/4= 2/4

if need simplify which will be 1/2

example

6/8-1/8=5/8

it cant  be simplified

The largest sea turtle found in the United States had a mass of 860.24 kg. If the gravitational potential energy associated with
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
2.4080 meters.

Remember that the definition of work is force over distance. And that the gravitational potential energy that the turtle has will exactly match the work performed in lifting it. So have the following variables
Mass = 860.24 kg
Work = 20320.7 J = 20320.7 kg*m^2/s^2
Gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2
And we wish to get an answer in meters. So we need to multiply and divide the three numbers we have with all their related units and derive an answer with the unit of m. We can cancel out most of the units by dividing the work by the gravitational acceleration, so
20320.7 kg*m^2/s^2 / 9.81 m/s^2 = <span> <span>2071.427 kg*m

Now we can cancel out the kg unit by dividing by the mass of the turtle. So
</span></span><span> 2071.427 kg*m / 860.24 kg = </span><span> <span>2.407964 m

Rounding to 5 significant figures gives 2.4080 meters.
