show me how to subtract 11/16-3/4=
First you have to find the common denominator, namely the LCM (least common multiple) of the two denominators, 16 and 4. It happens to be 16 because 16*1=16 and 4*4=16.
Now make 16 the common denominator of each of the two fractions:
11/16-3/4
=11/16 - 3*4/4*4
=11/16 - 12/16
=(11-12)/16
=-1/16
11/16-3/4
First make the denominator equal by multiplying the 2nd fraction's denominator by 4 the new fraction become
11/16-3*4/4*4
=11/16-12/16
Now by taking LCM 16
=11-12/16
=-1/16
That is your required solution.
