Question

5/6 - 4/12
Can someone show me step by step....PLEASE

Answer 1

5/6 - 4/12
You must first reach a LCD (Least Common Denominator), which is 12 because 6 * 2 = 12.
Multiply the first fraction by 2 on the top and bottom to create 10/12.
10/12 - 4/12 = 6/12.
Simplify to 1/2.

Answer 2

To subtract two fractions, first you need to find a common denominator

Answer 3

I can..... find the LCD

Answer 5

0.5

Answer 6

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf \frac{5}{6}-\frac{4}{12} = }\)


\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf \frac{5 \color{red} { \times2 } }{6\color{red} { \times2 } }-\frac{4}{12} = }\)


\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf \frac{10}{12}-\frac{4}{12} = }\)


\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf \frac{10-4}{12} = }\)


\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf \frac{6}{12} = }\)


\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf \frac{6 \color{red} { \div2 } }{12\color{red} { \div2 }} = }\)


\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf \frac{1}{2} ~.}\)
