To subtract fractions, we need an lcd( lowest common denominator)
8. the lcd is 42 because it’s the smallest number that 6 and 7 are both factors of. the lcd is the bottom of the fraction
to make the denominator of (4/7) 42, we will multiply the top and bottom by 6 and we get (24/42)
to make the denominator of (3/6) 42, we will multiply the top and bottom by 7 and we get (21/42)
these two numbers now have the same denominator so we subtract them
24/42 - 21/42 = 3/42 which simplifies to 1/14
9. since these fractions already have a common denominator, we will make them mixed fractions
-5(2/7) as a mixed fraction. first multiply 5*7 which is 35. now add 2 which is 37. our mixed fraction is -37/7
-1(5/7) as a mixed fraction. multiple 1*7 which is 7. now add 5 which is 12. our mixed fraction is -12/7
now subtract (-37/7) - (12/7) and we get -49/7 which simplifies to -7
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
3.48 x 10^ -5
move the decimal point back to the first number that isn't zero, if the decimal is moved right 5 spaces, it will be 10^ -5 , if a number has a zero, such as 0.000104, it would be 1.04 x 10^ -4.
1/8 is your answer
Because When we enter 1/2 of 1/4 into the formula, we get:
(1 x 1) / (2 x 4) = 1/8
Therefore, the answer to 1/2 of 1/4 in its lowest form is:
1/8
