Answer 1

Answer:

-11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{5} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{?}{?}$

first you want to get a common denominator (number on the bottom)

$\frac{4}{20} - \frac{15}{20} = \frac{?}{?}$

now you can subtract the numerators (number on tope) (also don't touch bottom)

$it ~equals = -\frac{11}{20} ~~because ~4-15 ~is -11$
