& The Numerator .

Answer 8

well 1/3 you need a common denominator. and 30 is the common between the two (multiply both bottom numbers 3* 10)
so you need 30 for both. to get 30 for the first one multiply both numbers on top and bottom by 10.
for the second part multiply both numbers by 3 so that 3*3 is 9 and 3*10 =30 so what you are left with is 10/30 - 9/30

To Subtract 1/3 - 3/10 . You Need A Least Common Denominator . 30 Is The Least Common Denominator. To Get The Denominator To 30 From 1/3, You Have To Multiply The Fraction By 10. So 1*10=10, 3*10=30 . So You Get 10/30 . Now You Do The Same To The Other Side . You Should Get 1/30 As The Answer Which Is Equal To 1/3 .

Answer 11

the common denominator would be 30, right? so multiply 1/3*10/10 which gives u 10/30. multiplu 3/10 by 3/3 to get 9/30. so 10/30-9/30=1/30
