Solve the equation:

$\frac{65}{67}-\frac{2}{67}=$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{60}{67}$

$\frac{63}{67}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{63}{67}$

Explanation:

When subtracting fractions that have the same denominator, only the top numbers are subtracted. Subtract the numerators and leave the denominators the same:

$\frac{65}{67}-\frac{2}{67}=\frac{63}{67}$

Answer: $\frac{63}{67}$

Example Question #1065 : Hspt Mathematics

Subtract: $\frac{52}{90}-\frac{10}{90}=$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{7}{15}$

$\frac{42}{0}$

$\frac{62}{90}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{7}{15}$

Explanation:

Subtract the numerators and keep the denominators the same:

$\frac{52}{90}-\frac{10}{90}=\frac{42}{90}$

Reduce the fraction: $\frac{42\div 2}{90 \div 2}=\frac{21}{45}$

Reduce again: $\frac{21\div 3}{45 \div 3}=\frac{7}{15}$

$\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{1}{14}$

$\frac{1}{7}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{14}$

Explanation:

The lowest common denominator of 2 and 7 is 14.

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{14}$

$\frac{3}{7}=\frac{6}{14}$

$\frac{7}{14}-\frac{6}{14}=\frac{1}{14}$

Example Question #274 : Fractions

Solve for the expression below.

$\frac{3}{7}-\frac{1}{3}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{3}{21}$

$\frac{2}{21}$

$\frac{1}{21}$

$\frac{1}{7}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{21}$

Explanation:

In order to subtract fractions, the least common denominator must be found for the denominator. The least common denominator of 3 and 7 is 21. Therefore, the fractions should be converted accordingly:

$\frac{3}{7}-\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{9}{21}-\frac{7}{21}$

$\frac{2}{21}$

$-\frac{1}{36}$

Explanation:

In order to subtract fractions, the least common denominator must be found for the denominator. The least common denominator of 4 and 9 is 36. Therefore, the fractions should be converted accordingly:

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{7}{9}$

$\frac{27}{36}-\frac{28}{36}$

$-\frac{1}{36}$
