3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution with Steps

3/4−2/5=?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(3/4, 2/5) = 20

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(3/4×5/5)−(2/5×4/4)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

15/20−8/20=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

15−8/20=7/20

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution by Formulas

Apply the fractions formula for subtraction, to

3/4−2/5

and solve

(3×5)−(2×4)/4×5

=15−8/20

=7/20

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

Paul [167]
If you would like to solve the equation b^2 + 9 * b + 18 = 0 for the variable b, you can do this using the following step:

b^2 + 9 * b + 18 = 0
(b + 3) * (b + 6) = 0

Result:

To cover a rectangle region of her yard, Penny needs at least 170.5 square feet of sod. The length of the region is 15.5 feet. W
gulaghasi [49]
We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(width)+2(length). We can multiply the length by 2 to find out how much remaining fencing we have, then divide that number by 2 to find the width.

15.5*2=31
170.5-31=139.5
139.5/2=69.75

A possible width is 69.75 feet.
