PLEASE ANSWER THE FRACTION 14 OVER 15 - THE FRACTION 1 OVER 2. HURRY!
(14/15) - (1/2)
28/30 - 15/30 = ?
WOULD IT BE 13 OVER 30
yes it is.
Sure! To subtract fractions, you need to find a common denominator. The common denominator is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.
For the fractions 14/15 and 1/2, the denominators are 15 and 2 respectively. The LCM of 15 and 2 is 30.
Now, we need to make both fractions have a denominator of 30. To do so, we need to scale up both fractions.
For 14/15, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2:
(14/15) * (2/2) = 28/30
For 1/2, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 15:
(1/2) * (15/15) = 15/30
Now that we have both fractions with a common denominator, we can subtract them:
28/30 - 15/30 = (28 - 15)/30 = 13/30
Therefore, the result of subtracting 14/15 and 1/2 is 13/30.
