Example Questions

Example Question #2 : Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators

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

Possible Answers:

$\frac{23}{49}$

$\frac{19}{56}$

$\frac{5}{7}$

$\frac{2}{7}$

$\frac{18}{35}$

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 #15 : How To Subtract Fractions

Solve:

$\frac{2}{3}-\frac{3}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{30}$

$\frac{1}{15}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{5}{15}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{15}$

Explanation:

$\frac{2}{3}-\frac{3}{5}$

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

$\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{5}{5}=\frac{10}{15}$

$\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{9}{15}$

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.

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{9}{15}=\frac{1}{15}$

Example Question #1561 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)

Solve:

$\frac{7}{8}-\frac{3}{16}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{13}{16}$

$\frac{4}{16}$

$\frac{11}{16}$

$\frac{4}{8}$

$\frac{1}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{11}{16}$

Explanation:

$\frac{7}{8}-\frac{3}{16}$

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

$\frac{7}{8}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{14}{16}$

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.

$\frac{14}{16}-\frac{3}{16}=\frac{11}{16}$

Example Question #11 : Number & Operations With Fractions

David ate $\frac{3}{12}$ of the pizza and Alison ate $\frac{1}{3}$ of the pizza. How much more of the pizza did Alison eat?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{3}4{}$

$\frac{1}3{}$

$\frac{5}7{}$

$\frac{9}{11}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{12}$

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{3}-\frac{3}{12}$

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

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

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we subtract fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only subtract the numerator.

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

Example Question #811 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Quantitative Reasoning

Shannon has painted $\frac{5}{8}$ of the house and Dan has painted $\frac{1}4{}$ of the house. How much more of the house has Shannon painted?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}7{}$

$\frac{3}4{}$

$\frac{1}4{}$

$\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{9}{11}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{8}$

Explanation:

$\frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{4}$

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

$\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{8}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we subtract fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only subtract the numerator.

$\frac{5}{8}-\frac{2}{8}=\frac{3}{8}$

Example Question #1573 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)

Tim mowed $\frac{1}{7}$ of the yard and Tom mowed $\frac{1}{3}$ . How much more of the yard did Tom mow?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{4}{21}$

$\frac{1}9{}$

$\frac{5}7{}$

$\frac{13}{21}$

$\frac{2}3{}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{4}{21}$

Explanation:

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

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

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

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

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we subtract fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only subtract the numerator.

$\frac{7}{21}-\frac{3}{21}=\frac{4}{21}$

Example Question #12 : Solve Word Problems Involving Addition And Subtraction Of Fractions: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Nf.A.2

Jessica ate $\frac{1}{3}$ of the cake and Megan ate $\frac{1}{2}$ . How much more of the cake did Megan eat?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{4}{9}$

$\frac{1}{6}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$

Explanation:

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

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

$\frac{1}3{\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{6}}$

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{6}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we subtract fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only subtract the numerator.

$\frac{3}{6}-\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}$

$\frac{4}{9}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{5}{18}$

$\frac{1}{6}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{5}{18}$

Explanation:

$\frac{7}{18}-\frac{1}{9}$

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

$\frac{1}{9}\times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{18}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we subtract fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only subtract the numerator.

$\frac{7}{18}-\frac{2}{18}=\frac{5}{18}$

Example Question #61 : How To Subtract Fractions

Laura ate $\frac{2}{7}$ of the ice cream and Drew ate $\frac{1}{3}$ . How much more of the ice cream did Drew eat?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{7}$

$\frac{5}7{}$

$\frac{9}{11}$

$\frac{1}{21}$

$\frac{2}3{}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{21}$

Explanation:

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

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

$\frac{2}{7}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{6}{21}$

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

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we subtract fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only subtract the numerator.

$\frac{7}{21}-\frac{6}{21}=\frac{1}{21}$

Example Question #151 : Fractions

Joe paited $\frac{3}{10}$ of the fence an Sara painted $\frac{1}{2}$ . How much more of the fence did Sara paint?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{3}{10}$

$\frac{7}{11}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{10}$

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{5}{5}=\frac{5}{10}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we subtract fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only subtract the numerator.

$\frac{5}{10}-\frac{3}{10 }=\frac{2}{10}$

$\frac{2}{10}$ can be reduced be dividing both sides by .
