Answer 1

Answer:

a)$-\frac{1}{12}$

d)$-\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Find a common denominator. 12 (3 × 4 = 12)

Convert the fractions to have a denominator of 12.

$\frac{2}{3}$ → $\frac{8}{12}$

$\frac{3}{4}$ → $\frac{9}{12}$

$\frac{8}{12}$- $\frac{9}{12}$ = $-\frac{1}{12}$

d) Find a common denominator. 8 (4 × 2 = 8; 8 × 1 = 8)

Convert the fractions to have a denominator of 8.

$\frac{3}{4}$ → $\frac{6}{8}$

$\frac{5}{8}$ → $\frac{5}{8}$

- $\frac{6}{8}$ - (-$\frac{5}{8}$)=?

Remember, 2 subtractions signs cancel each other out.

- $\frac{6}{8}$ + $\frac{5}{8}$ = $-\frac{1}{8}$
