Answer:

1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 11 by 8, and get 88.Then we multiply 7 by 12, and get 84.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 12 × 8 = 96.

So now our fractions look like this:

88 /96 -84 /96

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

88 − 84 = 4

So the answer is:

4 /96

Step 3

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

To find out, we try dividing it by 2...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:            

4 /96 ÷ 2 =2 /48

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

2 /48 ÷ 2 =1 /24

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

No good. 2 is larger than 1. So we're done reducing.                                    There you have it! The final answer is:

11 /12 -7 /8=1 /24

Answer:

1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

  • 11/12-7/8

Simplifly the denominator:

  • \frac{11}{12}=\frac{88}{96}
  • \frac{7}{8}=\frac{84}{96}

Subtract the fraction term:

  • \frac{88}{96}-\frac{84}{96}=\frac{4}{96}

Simplifly the fraction term:

  • \frac{4}{96}=\frac{1}{24}

Therefore, 11/12-7/8=1/24.

40 players multiplied by 30 teams = 1,200 players in the MLB
53 players multiplied by 32 teams = 1,696 players in the NFL.
1,696 - 1,200 = 496

There are 496 more players in the NFL then in the MLB.
