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
Well you can either think of actually dividing the fraction or reduce to lowest forms which is 1/2. then from 1/2 you can either divide that or just say it is .5.
Answer:
700
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/2 / 3/4 =
The first step is to flip the second fraction and change division to multiplication. Then multiply straight across.
-1/2 x 4/3 = -4/6
In simplified form:
-4/6 = -2/3
Hopefully this is right :)
