Question

help pls what's the answer if I subtract these ?
$\frac{4}{5}$
-
$\frac{3}{8}$
​

Answer 1

32/40 - 15/40 = 17/40

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{17}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{5} - \frac{3}{8}$

First, find the common denominator

So we multiply 4 by 8, and get 32

Then we multiply 3 by 5, and get 15

Next we give both terms new denominators 5 × 8 =40

So now our fractions look like this:

$\frac{32}{40} - \frac{15}{40}$

Now...that our denominators match we can simply

subtract the numerators

32 − 15 = 17

Thus the answer is:

$\frac{17}{40}$
