Subtract : (3/4) from (1/3)

Answer»

(3/4) from (1/3)

We have:

= (1/3) – (3/4)

= (1/3) + (additive inverse of 3/4)

= (1/3) + (-3/4)

LCM of 4 and 3 is 12

Express each of the given rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator.

Now,

= [(1×4)/ (3×4)] = (4/12)

= [(-3×3)/ (4×3)] = (-9/12)

Then,

= (4/12) + (-9/12)

= (4-9)/12

= (-5/12)
