Answer 1

Answers:

1): Freddy is incorrect. The correct answer is 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation: Freddy is incorrect. You are not supposed to subract the denominators. When you are solving the equation you have to find a common denominator. You can only subtract the numerator, and the denominator is the same.

Find the LCM. The LCM in this case is 6.

3/6 - 2/6

Remember, only subtract the numerators. The denominator will still be 6.

1/6

1/6 is therefore the correct answer.

2) 4 8/12
