OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You need to subtract: 9/10 - 2/3 First, you need a common denominator.

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

the lcd (least common denominator) is what? 10*3? 3*10?

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

then you will need to multiply the top number of the fractions by the same as the bottom

OpenStudy (lcnettech):

for the bottom is it 3*10?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

yes. so it will be 27/30 and 20/30

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

after you do that, you will want to subtract it in the order i put it above^

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

so 27-20 which leaves you with what?
