Subtract : (-32/13) from (-6/5)

Answer»

(-32/13) from (-6/5)

We have:

= (-6/5) – (-32/13)

= (-6/5) + (additive inverse of -32/13)

= (-6/5) + (32/13)

LCM of 5 and 13 is 65

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

Now,

= [(-6×13)/ (5×13)] = (-78/65)

= [(32×5)/ (13×5)] = (160/65)

Then,

= (-78/65) + (160/65)

= (-78+160)/65

= (82/65)
