Answer:
8/55
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you need to do is find a common denomintor.
The first denominator is 5, the other is 11.
If you multiply these together, you will get 55. This can not be reduced and still be divisable by 5 and 11, so this is your new denominator.
So for the 3/5 multiply both top and bottom by 11, since thats how many times bigger the denominatir needs to be:
3*11/5*11= 33/55
Then for 5/11 multiply both top and bottom by 5, since thats how many times bigger the denomator is to make 55:
5*5/11*5=25/55
Now we have:
33/55-25/55
When subtracting fractions, you are only subtracting the two numerators, and the denominators are unaffected:
33-25/55=8/55
So 8/55 is your answer.
Hope this helps!
