Evaluate: (14/15) – (13/20) |
Answer» (14/15) – (13/20) We have: = (14/15) – (13/20) = (14/15) + (additive inverse of 13/20) = (14/15) + (-13/20) LCM of 15 and 20 is 60 Express each of the given rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator. Now, = [(14×4)/ (15×4)] = (56/60) = [(-13×3)/ (20×3)] = (-39/60) Then, = (56/60) + (-39/60) = (56-39)/60 = (17/60) |
