i did this some days ago.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the answer

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Solve it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how

OpenStudy (kainui):

First off, how would you add or subtract these fractions? 2/5 - 1/10 You can apply this same trick to your equation!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know

OpenStudy (kainui):

Remember that you can multiply anything by 1 and it'll still be the same number. So we can be clever and say that 2/2 is 1, right? So in the problem I made, you can multiply 2/5 times 2/2 to get 4/10. Now you are subtracting 4/10 - 1/10 see?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so it is what

OpenStudy (kainui):

4/10-1/10 is 3/10. But that's the answer to my question. That should be enough information to solve your problem, right? If you need more help I'm here!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but 3/10 isnt an answer

OpenStudy (kainui):

It's the answer to the example I gave you, not the answer to your question. You have to answer that question yourself.

OpenStudy (zepp):

What @Kainui is trying to say, is that you need to have to same denominator in order to add or substract two fractions.
