Question

subtract -7/16 from 3/8​

Answer 1

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

            Given data:- $\frac{3}{8} -\frac{-7}{16} .$

            To find:- Value of given expression.

            Solution:-

• We know that Subtraction means taking away some value from another value.

• Subtraction is denoted by (-).

• Properties of subtraction are as follows:-

1. Subtracting a number from itself.
2. Subtracting 0 from a number.
3. Order property.
4. Subtraction of 1.

         Therefore,

           $\begin{array}{l}\frac{3}{8}-\frac{-7}{16}\\ \\=\frac{3 \times 2}{8 \times 2}-\frac{-7}{16} \\\\=\frac{6}{16}-\frac{-7}{16} \\\\=\frac{6--7}{16} \\\\=\frac{13}{16}\end{array}$

      Hence we will get the value is $\frac{3}{8} -\frac{-7}{16} =\frac{13}{16}.$
