Question

Find the missing values in the equation below.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{6} - \frac{3}{6}$

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{?} - \frac{?}{6}$

$/ - / = \frac{?}{6}$

Required

Fill in the gaps

For Line 1, convert both fraction to a denominator of 6.

This is shown below:

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{?} - \frac{?}{6}$

$\frac{2}{2}*\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} *\frac{3}{3}$

$\frac{2*2}{2*3} - \frac{1*3}{2*3}$

$\frac{4}{6} - \frac{3}{6}$

Hence:

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{6} - \frac{3}{6}$

For Line 2;

We have:

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{6} - \frac{3}{6}$

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4-3}{6}$

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{6}$
