Question

what is the answer 8/5-1/6= ive been stuck on this question forever

Answer 1

Answer:

1 13/30

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to make the denominators the same.  You do this by multiplying them.  However, whatever you do you to the denominator, you must also do to the numerator:

$\frac{8x6}{5x6}$-$\frac{1x5}{6x5}$=$\frac{48}{30}$-$\frac{5}{30}$=$\frac{43}{30}$

Now reduce to simplest terms:

$\frac{43}{30}$=1$\frac{13}{30}$
