Use any method to add or subtract.5 7- (3/14+3/14)
Will it be 1 1/7
Thank you for your help
3/14 + 3/14 = 3/7. If you meant 5/7 then 5/7 minus 3/7 = 2/7.
To add or subtract fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the denominators are both 14, so you can simply add the numerators together and keep the denominator the same.
First, simplify both fractions:
3/14 + 3/14 = 6/14
Now you can subtract the fraction from 7:
7 - 6/14
To subtract a fraction from a whole number, you need to convert the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction.
7 can be written as 7/1.
Now, find a common denominator for both fractions, which is 14.
7/1 - 6/14
To subtract the fractions, you need to have the same denominators. Multiply 7/1 by 14/14 to get a common denominator:
(7/1)*(14/14) = 98/14
Now, you can subtract the fractions:
98/14 - 6/14 = 92/14
Finally, simplify the fraction:
92/14 can be reduced to 46/7, which is equivalent to 6 4/7.
Therefore, the answer to the expression 5 7 - (3/14 + 3/14) is 6 4/7.
