Answer 2

Given : Subtract (4/17) from (-37/51)

To find : The result of the given subtraction.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here,

• Minuend : $( - \frac{ 37}{51} )$
• Subtrahend : $(\frac{4}{17})$

Now we know that,

Minuend - Subtrahend = Difference

So,

Difference :

$= ( - \frac{37}{51} ) - (\frac{4}{17})$

Now, taking LCM of the denominators of the Minuend and Subtrahend.

LCM of (51,17) = 51

So, the rest of the subtraction will be :

$= \frac{( - \frac{37}{51} \times 51) - ( \frac{4}{17} \times 51) }{51}$

$= \frac{ - 37 - 12}{51}$

$= - \frac{49}{51}$

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the result of the subtraction will

be (-49/51)
