Example Question #1 : Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators

$\frac{8}{12}-\frac{1}4{}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{7}{16}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{5}{0}$

$\frac{7}{8}$

$\frac{5}{12}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{5}{12}$

Explanation:

$\frac{8}{12}-\frac{1}4{}$

In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.

$\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{12}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we add and subtract fractions, we only add or subtract the numerator.

$\frac{8}{12}-\frac{3}{12}=\frac{5}{12}$

$\frac{2}{4}$

$\frac{1}{8}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{8}$

Explanation:

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{8}$

In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.

$\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{6}{8}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we add and subtract fractions, we only add or subtract the numerator.

$\frac{6}{8}-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{3}7{}$

$\frac{13}{24}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{13}{24}$

Explanation:

$\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{8}$

In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.

$\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{8}{8}=\frac{16}{24}$

$\frac{1}{8}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{24}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we add and subtract fractions, we only add or subtract the numerator.

$\frac{16}{24}-\frac{3}{24}=\frac{13}{24}$

Example Question #2051 : Common Core Math: Grade 5

$\frac{9}{11}-\frac{3}{4}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{3}{44}$

$\frac{5}{22}$

$\frac{3}9{}$

$\frac{6}{7}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{44}$

Explanation:

$\frac{9}{11}-\frac{3}{4}$

In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.

$\frac{9}{11}\times\frac{4}{4}=\frac{36}{44}$

$\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{11}{11}=\frac{33}{44}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we add and subtract fractions, we only add or subtract the numerator.

$\frac{36}{44}-\frac{33}{44}=\frac{3}{44}$

$\frac{55}{72}$

Explanation:

$\frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{8}$

In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.

$\frac{8}{9}\times\frac{8}{8}=\frac{64}{72}$

$\frac{1}{8}\times\frac{9}{9}=\frac{9}{72}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we add and subtract fractions, we only add or subtract the numerator.

$\frac{64}{72}-\frac{9}{72}=\frac{55}{72}$

Example Question #60 : How To Subtract Fractions

$\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{7}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{19}{56}$

$\frac{18}{35}$

$\frac{23}{49}$

$\frac{5}{7}$

$\frac{2}{7}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{18}{35}$

Explanation:

$\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{7}$

In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.

$\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{7}{7}=\frac{28}{35}$

$\frac{2}{7}\times\frac{5}{5}=\frac{10}{35}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we add and subtract fractions, we only add or subtract the numerator.

$\frac{28}{35}-\frac{10}{35}=\frac{18}{35}$
