Evaluate: (7/24) – (19/36) |
Answer» (7/24) – (19/36) We have: = (7/24) – (19/36) = (7/24) + (additive inverse of 19/36) = (7/24) + (-19/36) LCM of 24 and 36 is 72 Express each of the given rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator. Now, = [(7×3)/ (24×3)] = (21/72) = [(-19×2)/ (36×2)] = (-38/72) Then, = (21/72) + (-38/72) = (21-38)/72 = (-17/72) |
