Question

What is 5/6 - 3/8 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

D is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{6} - \frac{3}{8}$

find a common factor between 6 and 8, thats 24.

(multiply the first fraction by 4, second by 3, both numerator and denominator)

Becomes:

$\frac{20}{24} - \frac{9}{24}$

Then subtract the numerators, keeping the denominators the same:

20 - 9 = 11;  

So the answer is:

$\frac{11}{24}$
