Question

Solve It
a) 5/6 - 1/3
b) 1/ 2 + 1 / 3 + 1 / 6
c) 16/5 - 7/5
d) 4/3 - 1/2

Answer 1

a) 5/6 - 1/3So we multiply 5 by 3, and get 15.

Then we multiply 1 by 6, and get 6.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 6 × 3 = 18.

So now our fractions look like this:

15

18

−

6

18

15 − 6 = 9

So the answer is:

9/18
