What is the difference? 1/6 - 5/8 A. -19/24 B. -11/24 C. 11/24 D. 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First find a common denominator for both fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is clearly 24. So make sure you rewrite both of the fractions so that they have 24 as the denominator

OpenStudy (gelow):

i think it is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-11/24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya its b

OpenStudy (gelow):

so b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should end up getting 4/24-15/24 and when you subtract you get -11/24 and you can't further simplify(: so yes, b is correct
