Subtract. Write the answer in simplest form.
1) 3/7-4/5=10/35-28/35
This is the part that I got too and I don't know if I did it correctly or not. Can you please tell me how to do this or show me.
well, the idea is right, but
3/7 = 15/35
Then, do just what you did with the previous problem:
15/35 - 38/35 = -23/35
Plus, you misspelled "to"
I meant to put 1 and 3/7-4/5
That is what confuse me.
oh, well,
1 3/7 = 1+3/7 = 7/7 + 3/7 = 10/7
To subtract fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 35, which is the least common multiple of 7 and 5.
Now, let's do the subtraction:
We have 10/35 - 28/35.
Since the denominators are the same, we can simply subtract the numerators:
10 - 28 = -18.
So, the answer is -18/35.
To simplify this fraction to its simplest form, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (or highest common factor), which in this case is 1.
So, the simplest form of -18/35 is just -18/35.
