Example Question #3061 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning

Solve the following:

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

Possible Answers:

$\frac{12}{24}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{1}2{}$

$\frac{3}7{}$

$\frac{13}{24}$

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.

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

Example Question #2 : Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators

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

Possible Answers:

$\frac{55}{72}$

$\frac{5}{7}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{43}{82}$

$\frac{13}{29}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{55}{72}$

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.

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

Example Question #4 : Add And Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Nf.A.1

$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{3}=$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{7}{4}$

$\frac{13}{24}$

$1\frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{4}{7}$

$\frac{12}{13}$

Correct answer:

$1\frac{1}{12}$

Explanation:

$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{3}$

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

$\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{9}{12}$

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

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

$\frac{9}{12}+\frac{4}{12}=\frac{13}{12}$

$\frac{13}{12}=1\frac{1}{12}$ because can go into one time, with one left over.

$\frac{5}{6}+\frac{2}{4}$

Possible Answers:

$1\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{24}{16}$

$\frac{16}{24}$

$\frac{12}{16}$

$\frac{7}{10}$

Correct answer:

$1\frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

$\frac{5}{6}+\frac{2}{4}$

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

$\frac{5}{6}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{10}{12}$

$\frac{2}{4}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{6}{12}$

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

$\frac{10}{12}+\frac{6}{12}=\frac{16}{12}$

$\frac{16}{12}=1\frac{4}{12}=1\frac{1}{3}$ because and go into one time with four left over. $\frac{4}{12}$ can be reduced to $\frac{1}{3}$ by dividing the numerator and the denominator by

$\frac{17}{21}$

$\frac{3}{10}$

$\frac{16}{21}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{17}{21}$

Explanation:

$\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{7}$

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

$\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{7}{7}=\frac{14}{21}$

$\frac{1}{7}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{21}$

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

$\frac{14}{21}+\frac{3}{21}=\frac{17}{21}$
