Question

The question as it says that your sports drink bottle is 5/6 for after practice the bottle 3/8 full write the difference of the amounts after practice and before practice write your answer as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

You first need to make the denominators on both fractions the same and how to do that is simple. What does 6 and 8 go into to? Well, the answer is 24. You multiply 5/6 into 4 and you should get 20/24. Then, you multiply 3/8 into 3 and you should get 9/24. Now the last part is easy, you just subtract 20/24 and 9/24 and you should get 11/24 as your answer. It cannot be simplified. Hope it helped.

Answer 2

Answer:

-11/24

The difference is negative because the amount went down
