Question

Find the difference: 11/w - 5/w

Answer 1

Stumped on this would it be 6?

Answer 2

No.

Answer 3

What if w=3?

Answer 4

Similar problem

8/x - 5/x

(8-5)/x

3/x

So 8/x - 5/x simplifies to 3/x

Answer 5

6/w actually

Answer 6

w=3 would make 11/3 and 5/3
So if I'm right which I suck with fractions so I'm not 3 goes into 11 3 times so it would be 3 2/3?

Answer 7

@Faralen your answer of 6 is only true when w=1.

Answer 8

I'm really bad at math if you can't tell haha XD
Okay can you explain it a bit?
I'll try to work it out with your help

Answer 9

Wait so from jim_thompson5910 11/w - 5/w it would be 11-5/w so 6/w ?
