Example Question #1 : Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{0}$

$\frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{1}$

$\frac{1}{24}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{12}$

Explanation:

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}$

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

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

$\frac{2}{3\time}\times\frac{4}{4}=\frac{8}{12}$

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.

$\frac{9}{12}-\frac{8}{12}=\frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{7}{8}$

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.

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

Example Question #11 : Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators

Solve:

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

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{15}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{5}{15}$

$\frac{1}{30}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

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.

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

$\frac{13}{16}$

$\frac{4}{8}$

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.

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