Answer:

Subtract: 5/8 - 1/6 = 5 · 3/8 · 3 - 1 · 4/6 · 4 = 15/24 - 4/24 = 15 - 4/24 = 11/24

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(8, 6) = 24. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 8 × 6 = 48. In the following intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In other words - five eighths minus one sixth = eleven twenty-fourths.

If AM = x + 8 and MB= 6x – 2, find MB.
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, AM=x+8

or, A=x+8-M......eqn (i)

MB=6x-2

or, B=6x-2-M......eqn (ii)

Now,

from eqn (i) and (ii)

x+8-M=6x-2-M

or, 8+2=6x-x-M+M

or, 10=5x

or, 10÷5=x

therefore, x=2

Again,

MB=6x-2

=6×2-2

=12-2

=10

is it correct

please mark me as BRAINLIEST
