Question

subtrac 5/18 - 1/4 reduce if possible

Answer 1

Answer

(5/18) - (1/4) = (1/36)

Explanation

We are asked to subtract (1/4) from (5/18)

To do this, we have to first find the Lowest Common Multiple of the denominators. The LCM of 18 and 4 is 36.

So,

(5/18) = (10/36)

(1/4) = (9/36)

$\begin{gathered} \frac{5}{18}-\frac{1}{4} \\ =\frac{10}{36}-\frac{9}{36} \\ =\frac{10-9}{36} \\ =\frac{1}{36} \end{gathered}$

Hope this Helps!!!
