Question

5/8-1/6 subtract solution

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of the given fraction  $\frac{5}{8} - \frac{1}{6}$ is  $\frac{11}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The given fraction term is $\frac{5}{8} - \frac{1}{6}$

To find: The value of the given fraction term

Solution:

The given fraction is $\frac{5}{8} - \frac{1}{6}$

The denominator have different numbers. we cant subtract directly if we have the different denominator.

So to get the common term multiply 8 with 6 so we get 48

Therefore 48 is the denominator term

Step 1:

Multiply 5 by 6 then we get 30

Multiply 1 with 8 then we get 8

Now the fraction term is

⇒ $\frac{30}{48} - \frac{8}{48}$

Step 2:

Now we have the same denominator , so we can subtract

⇒ $\frac{30 - 8}{48}$

⇒ $\frac{22}{8}$

Both numerator and denominator term can be divided by 2

Then we get

⇒ $\frac{11}{24}$

Therefore  $\frac{5}{8} - \frac{1}{6}$ =  $\frac{11}{24}$

Final answer:

The value of the given fraction  $\frac{5}{8} - \frac{1}{6}$ is  $\frac{11}{24}$
