Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Our denominators are 5 and 24. What we need to do is find the lowest common denominator of the two numbers, which is 120 in this case.

If we multiply the first denominator (5) by 24 we will get 120. If we we multiply the second denominator (24) by 5 we will also get 120. We also need to multiply the numerators above the line by the same amounts so that the fraction values are correct:

14 x 24

5 x 24

-

14 x 5

24 x 5

This is what 14/5 minus 14/24 looks like with the same denominator:

336

120

-

70

120

Now that these fractions have been converted to have the same denominator, we can subtract one numerator from the other to make one fraction:

336 - 70

120

=

266

120

You're done! You now know exactly how to calculate 14/5 - 14/24. Hopefully you understood the process and can use the same techniques to add other fractions together. The complete answer is below (simplified to the lowest form):
