Evaluate: (3/4) – (4/5) |
Answer» (3/4) – (4/5) We have: = (3/4) – (4/5) = (3/4) + (additive inverse of 4/5) = (3/4) + (-4/5) LCM of 4 and 5 is 20 Express each of the given rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator. Now, = [(3×5)/ (4×5)] = (15/20) = [(-4×4)/ (5×4)] = (-16/20) Then, = (15/20) + (-16/20) = (15-16)/20 = (-1/20) |
