The difference between nine-fourths minus one-seventh is negative eight-thirds.
To find the difference between nine-fourths and one-seventh, we need to subtract one-seventh from nine-fourths.
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 7 is 28.
So, let's convert our fractions to have a denominator of 28:
Nine-fourths = (9/4) * (7/7) = 63/28
One-seventh = (1/7) * (4/4) = 4/28
Now we can subtract:
(63/28) - (4/28) = (63 - 4) / 28 = 59/28
Therefore, the difference between nine-fourths and one-seventh is fifty-nine-twenty-eighths.
To find the difference between nine-fourths and one-seventh, we need to subtract one-seventh from nine-fourths.
To do this, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions, which in this case is 28.
Next, we convert both fractions to have a denominator of 28:
- Nine-fourths is equivalent to 63/28 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 7).
- One-seventh is equivalent to 4/28 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 4).
Now, we can subtract 4/28 from 63/28 to get the difference:
63/28 - 4/28 = 59/28
Therefore, the difference between nine-fourths and one-seventh is fifty-nine-twenty-eighths.
