is this two different questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is one question and how do i do that @magepker728

OpenStudy (misty1212):

what is \[\huge \frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{18}\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

btw just for the record \(\frac{3}{18}=\frac{1}{6}\) so it is really \[\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you take it and make it 1/2 + 6/1 then?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

no

OpenStudy (misty1212):

just subtract like you always do with fractions it is a subtraction, not a division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (misty1212):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
