<u>Answer:</u>
- Option B is correct.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>To subtract fractions, we must check if the denominators of both fractions are the same.</u>
- 2/5 - 1/7
- => 2 x 7/5 x 7 - 1 x 5/7 x 5
- => 14/35 - 5/35
<u>Now, let's subtract for the result.</u>
- => 9/35
Hence, <u>Option B is correct.</u>
Hoped this helped.
I was taught to get a common denominator and then arrange them in the correct order.
So first you find out what all the denominations can be multiplied to. That would be 40
So you multiply the bottom of each fraction by a number that will get 40.
3/4 * 10 = 30/40
7/8 * 5 = 35/40
3/5 * 8 = 24/40
Then you get 30/40, 35/40, and 24/40.
Then you organize the m.
24/40, 30/40, and 35/40
