Question

fraction between 3/4 and 3/8 is

Answer 1

STEP 1 = Address formula, input parameters & values.

Input parameters & values:

3/4 and 3/8

3/4 - 3/8 = ?

STEP 2 = For unequal denominators, find the LCM (least common multiple) for both denominators

The LCM for 4 and 8 is 8.

STEP 3 = To have the common denominator, multiply the LCM with both numerator & denominator

= (3×8) - (3×8)

_____ _____

(4×8) - (8×8)

= 6/8 - 3/8

= ( 6 - 3 )

_______

8

STEP 4 = Find difference between numerators and rewrite it in a single form.

= 3/8

3/4 - 3/8 = 3/8

By using LCM method, 3/8 is the equivalent fraction by subtracting 3/8 from 3/4.

Answer 2

Given data: $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{8}$

To find: Use arithmetic operation

Solution:

• Fraction is the part of whole. There are 3 types namely improper fraction, proper fraction and mixed fraction.
• According to the arithmetic operation, Addition (a + b = c), Subtraction (a - b = c), Multiplication (a x b = c) and division (a ÷ b = c).
• Taking LCM of the given proper fraction is 8.
• Appling the LCM in the first fraction we get $\frac{6}{8}$.
• Appling the LCM in the second fraction we get $\frac{3}{8}$.
• Addition of fraction is $\frac{6}{8} +\frac{3}{8}$ and the subtraction of the fraction is $\frac{6}{8} -\frac{3}{8}$.
• Multiplication of fraction is $\frac{6}{8}$ x $\frac{3}{8}$ and the division of fraction is $\frac{6}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{8}$.
• Hence using arithmetic operation the fractions are add $\frac{9}{8}$, subtract $\frac{3}{8}$, multiple $\frac{9}{32}$ and divide $\frac{1}{4}$.
