Let
One Number = x
Second Number =x-10
Third Number=x/2

Sum of three numbers is 50
x+x-10+x/2=50
2x-10+x/2=50
Multiply by 2 both sides
2*(2x-10+x/2)=50*2

4x-20+x=100
5x=100+20
5x=120
x=120/5
x=24

One number = x=24
Second number =x-10=24-10=14
Third number= x/2=24/2= 12

Find the difference using fraction bars or a paper and pencil. Write your answer in simplest form.
nasty-shy [4]
First, find the lowest common denominator. That is 12. You only have to change 3/4 into 12ths.

3/4 = 9/12

11/12 – 9/12 = 2/12 = 1/6
