Question

How do i solve (7/25) - (3/15)

Answer 1

Answer: Answer is 0.08 in Decimals and 2/25 in fractions*

* is the sign for multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

Making The Denominator Same

First We have to make the denominator of both the fractions the same.So here I am taking 75 as the denominator.

For The First Numbers

As 25*3 = 75,on the numerator we should take 7*3 which is 21.

For The Second number

As 15*5 is 75,on the numerator we should take 3*5 which is 15

Now For The Calculation

So now denominator is same.We can do 21/75-15/75.We will find the difference of the numerator which is 6/75

Then we divide both the numerator and denominator by 3

we will get 2 in the numerator and 25 in the denominator

The Equation

$7/25 - 3/15 = 21/75 - 15/75= 06/75 = 02/25$
