Yes, because if you multiply the top and bottom of 1/2 by 3 you get 3/6, so they are equal :)
I now how to do this, but I need a clearer picture. lol
Sorry for not giving you the calculation here -
5/12 and 2/9 have denominators divisible by only 3 right? Well The common denominator that can then change is 3 because that's the only number they have in common (except 1)
i’m pretty positive you would just subtract!
Order is operation is PEMDAS which means Parentheses, Exponents Mulitiplication,division,Addition and Subtraction so you follow the order whether they exist or not.
So (41-3^2)-(4+4)=
41-9-8 = 32-8 = 24
