find the difference....
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
first take the LCM
LCM will be 12
there fore, 5/6 × 2 = 10/12. and 3/4 × 3 = 9/12.
difference is, 10/12 - 9/12 = 1/12
hope it helps

Answer:
5/6 - 3/4 = 1/12
Solution with Steps -
5/6 - 3/4 = ?
The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.
LCD - Lowest Common Denominator (5/6, 3/4) = 12
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.
(5/6×2/2) - (3/4×3/3) = ?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
10/12 - 9/12 = ?
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.
Then:
10 - 9 / 12=1/12
This fraction cannot be reduced.
Therefore:
5/6 - 3/4 = 1/12
Solution by Formulas -
Apply the fractions formula for subtraction, to
5/6 - 3/4
and solve
(5×4) - (3×6)/6×4
=20−18/24
=2/24
Reduce by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor - GCF or Highest Common Factor - HCF (2,24) = 2
2÷224÷2=112
Therefore:
5/6 - 3/4 = 1/12
