Answer 2

Answer: The final estimate for the expression is 11/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is,

$\frac{10}{12}-\frac{3}{8}$

Since,

12 = 2 × 2 × 3

8 = 2 × 2 × 2

⇒ L.C.M.(12,8) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24

Now, we can write,

$\frac{10}{12} = \frac{10\times 2}{12\times 2}=\frac{20}{24}$

And,

$\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3\times 3}{8\times 3}=\frac{9}{24}$

Hence,

$\frac{10}{12}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{20}{24}-\frac{9}{24}=\frac{11}{24}$
