Question

which expression represent the statement one-fourth the difference between 2/3 and 1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

1/24

Explanation:

First, we need to find the difference between 2/3 and 1/2 which means that we need to subtract 1/2 from 2/3;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{2} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{4-3}{6} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}$

So the difference between 2/3 and 1/2 is 1/6. To find one fourth of 1/6, we have to multiply 1/6 by 1/4;

$\frac{1}{4}\ast\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{24}$

So one-fourth of the difference between 2/3 and 1/2​ is 1/24
