Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
You can simplify it by looking for what divides into both numbers. The lowest possible number is 3 because it can go into both 9 and 12.
9/3=3
12/3=4
3/4
I think x = 78
because 21/14 = 1.5
so x = 1.5*52
x = 78
This problem boils down to 5/6 - 1/4
To subtract these fractions you need a common denominator.
I'll use 12
The first fraction becomes 10/12 and the second fraction becomes 3/12
10/12-3/12 = 7/12
So Jacob is 7/12 of a foot taller than Linda.
Also note than since 12 inches = 1 foot, you could say Jacob is 7 inches taller than Linda
I found this --The first step to dividing fractions is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. Finally, simplify the fractions if needed.
