Answer 3

thanks.

Answer 4

1.)Simplify
9/16−1/4
2.)Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 9/16,1/4
Method 1: By Listing Multiples
List out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one.
16 : 16
4 : 4,8,12,16
Therefore, the LCD is 16
Method 2: By Prime Factors
List all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes.
16 : 2,2,2,2
4 : 2,2
Therefore, the LCD is 2×2×2×2=16

Make the denominators the same as the LCD
9/16−1×4/4×4

Simplify. Denominators are now the same
9/16−4 16

Join the denominators
9−4/16

Simplify
5/16
so 5/16 would be your answer. do you see how I did it?

Answer 5

When subtracting or adding fractions, you need to make the denominators (the numbers on bottom) the same. To do that, you can multiply one or both of the fractions by a form of one , which can be 4/4, 5/5, or any number over itself. I multiplied 1/4 by 4/4 because 4*4 is 16, and you needed 16 to be your denominator. Get it?

Answer 6

yes.
