A) -7/2
B) 7/2
C) -2/7
D) 2/7​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{24}{84}=\frac{23}{42}\quad \left(\mathrm{Decimal:\quad }\:0.54761\dots \right)$

$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{24}{84}$

$=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{2}{7}$

$=\frac{35}{42}-\frac{12}{42}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{c}-\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a-b}{c}$

$=\frac{35-12}{42}$

$\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:35-12=23$

$=\frac{23}{42}$
