How do you subtract fractions

Mathematics
2 answers:
RUDIKE [14]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Make sure the denominators (thats the bottom number) are the same!! This is very important!! For example, if you are subtracting 3/10 from 1/2 you are going to multiply 1/2 by 5 (because 2×5 is 10) and get 5/10. Now, what you are going to do is subtract 4 from 5 and get 1/10. I hope this helped!

Heres a couple videos for extra help

Answer:

make the denominators ( bottom number ) the same and whatever u do to that do to the top

Step-by-step explanation:

e.g ½ - ⅓

make the common denominator 6

to get from 2 to 6 u times by 3 so it wud be 3/6

and then to get from 3 to 6 u times by 2 so do the same to the numerator (top number) so u get 2/6

3/6 take away 2/6 is 1/6

Answer:

z = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

22z + 6 - 10 = 6z + 4

Step 2: Solve for <em>z</em>

  1. Combine like terms: 22z - 4 = 6z + 4
  2. Subtract 6z on both sides: 16z - 4 = 4
  3. Add 4 to both sides: 16z = 8
  4. Divide both sides by 16: z = 8/16
  5. Simplify: z = 1/2

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in z to verify it's a solution.</em>

22(1/2) + 6 - 10 = 6(1/2) + 4

11 - 4 = 3 + 4

7 = 7

What is .52,57% and 2/5 from least to greatest
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Concert 2/5 into a percent 5*20 = 100 (denominator) so 2* 20 =40
40/100 is 40%
I'm guessing you accidentally put the dor in front of 52 so it would be 40 at least and 52.57 at greatest

You've lost your dinner jacket in a palace with 1,514 doors, and it could be anywhere. how many rooms must you potentially look
zheka24 [161]
Presuming the rooms are connected to each other by a door and that each room has two doors, you will potentially check in;
\frac{1514}{2} -1
= 756 rooms
We are subtracting 1 since the last door doesn't lead to another room.
