Simplify: 4⁄5- 3⁄8 please help
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
2 + 2/3 + 5/4 = 29/
12
= 2 5/
12
≅ 2.4166667
Spelled result in words is twenty-nine twelfths (or two and five twelfths).
How do you solve fractions step by step?
Add: 1/
2
+ 2/
3
= 1 · 3/
2 · 3
+ 2 · 2/
3 · 2
= 3/
6
+ 4/
6
= 3 + 4/
6
= 7/

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(2, 3) = 6. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 2 × 3 = 6. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.
In words - one half plus two thirds = seven sixths.
Add: the result of step No. 1 + 5/

4 · 3
= 14/

The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(6, 4) = 12. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 6 × 4 = 24. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.
In words - seven sixths plus five quarters = twenty-nine twelfths.
