1/6+3/8
7/8-5/12
Answer:
2/10, 1 1/4, 13/24, 11/24
To solve these arithmetic problems, you'll need to perform basic operations on fractions. Here's how you can get the answer to each question step by step:
1. 5/10 - 3/10:
- Subtract the numerators: 5 - 3 = 2
- Keep the same denominator: 10
So the answer is 2/10, which can be simplified to 1/5.
2. 1/2 + 3/4:
- Find a common denominator, which is the least common multiple of 2 and 4, which is 4.
- Adjust the fractions to have the same denominator:
1/2 becomes 2/4 (multiply numerator and denominator by 2)
3/4 remains the same.
- Add the numerators: 2 + 3 = 5
- Keep the same denominator: 4
So the answer is 5/4, which can be simplified to 1 1/4.
3. 1/6 + 3/8:
- Find a common denominator, which is the least common multiple of 6 and 8, which is 24.
- Adjust the fractions to have the same denominator:
1/6 becomes 4/24 (multiply numerator and denominator by 4)
3/8 becomes 9/24 (multiply numerator and denominator by 3)
- Add the numerators: 4 + 9 = 13
- Keep the same denominator: 24
So the answer is 13/24.
4. 7/8 - 5/12:
- Find a common denominator, which is the least common multiple of 8 and 12, which is 24.
- Adjust the fractions to have the same denominator:
7/8 remains the same.
5/12 becomes 10/24 (multiply numerator and denominator by 2)
- Subtract the numerators: 7 - 10 = -3
- Keep the same denominator: 24
So the answer is -3/24, which can be simplified to -1/8.
By following the steps above, you should be able to solve each arithmetic problem and obtain the correct answers.
Where is your work? If you tried I bet you could subtract 3 from 5.
So in my opinion
5/10-3/10 = 2/10
which is 1/5
Just like 5 leprecauns - 3 leprecauns = 2 leprecauns
or whatever
now for 1/2 + 1/4
you want all leprecauns, or in this case quarters.
2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
but you knew that
