1/2 - 1/64 =
You need the same denominator.
1/2 = 32/64
=31/64
Right!
To solve this equation, we need to find the common denominator for the fractions involved. The common denominator for 2 and 64 is 64.
Now, we need to rewrite both fractions with the common denominator of 64. To do this, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the same amount.
For the fraction 1/2, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator by 32 (since 2 * 32 = 64). This gives us (1 * 32) / (2 * 32) = 32/64.
For the fraction 1/64, the denominator is already 64, so we don't need to make any changes.
Now we can subtract the two fractions:
32/64 - 1/64 = (32 - 1) / 64 = 31/64.
Therefore, 1/2 - 1/64 = 31/64.
