Answer:
3/14
Step-by-step explanation:
5/7 minus 1/2 is 5/7 - 1/2
5/7 and 1/2 are both called proper fractions. 5 and 1 in each fraction are called the numerator while 7 and 2 are called denominators
5/7 - 1/2
Step one
Find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of each fractions
Multiples of 7
7 x 1 = 7
7 x 2 = 14
7 x 3 = 21
Multiples of 2
2 x 1 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
2 x 3 = 6
2 x 4 = 8
2 x 5 = 10
2 x 6 = 12
2 x 7 = 14
The lowest common multiple of 2 and 7 is 14
Step 2
The LCM of 2 and 7 becomes the common denominator for both fractions.
14/7 = 2
14/2 = 7
5/7 - 1/2 = [2(5) - 7(1)]/14 = (10 - 7)/14
= 3/14

The appropriate order is ...
(4) Open a compass so its width is more than half the length of the given segment.
(1) Without changing its width, use the compass to draw an arc above and below the given line segment from one of the segment"s endpoints.
(5) Again, without changing its width, use the compass to draw another pair of arcs from the other endpoint. One arc will be above the segment while the second arc will be below.
(2) Draw the point of intersection between the pair of arcs above the line segment and between the pair of arcs below the line segment.
(3) Use a straightedge to connect the intersection points between each pair of arcs.
