Subtract: (i) \(\frac{3}{4}\) from \(\frac{1}{3}\)(ii) \(\frac{-5}{6}\) from \(\frac{1}{3}\) (iii) \(\frac{-8}{9}\) from \(\frac{-3}{5}\)(iv) \(\frac{-9}{7}\) from -1 |
Answer» (i) Since the denominators of both the numbers are different therefore, we will take their LCM 0f 3 and 4 = 12 \(\frac{3}{4}= \frac{3\times3}{4\times3}=\frac{9}{12}\) And, \(\frac{1}{3}= \frac{1\times4}{3\times4}=\frac{4}{12}\) Therefore, = \(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{3}{4}\) = \(\frac{4}{12}-\frac{9}{12}\) = \(\frac{4-9}{12}\) = \(\frac{-5}{12}\) (ii) Since the denominators of both the numbers are different therefore, we will take their LCM 0f 6 and 3 = 6 \(\frac{-5}{6}= \frac{-5\times1}{6\times1}=\frac{-5}{6}\) And, \(\frac{1}{3}= \frac{1\times2}{3\times2}=\frac{2}{6}\) Therefore, \(\frac{1}{3}-(\frac{-5}{6})\) = \(\frac{2}{6}-(\frac{-5}{6})\) = \(\frac{2-(-5)}{6}\) = \(\frac{2+5}{6}\) = \(\frac{7}{6}\) (iii) Since the denominators of both the numbers are different therefore, we will take their LCM 0f 9 and 5 = 45 \(\frac{-8}{9}= \frac{-8\times5}{9\times5}=\frac{-40}{45}\) And, \(\frac{-3}{5}= \frac{-3\times9}{5\times9}=\frac{-27}{45}\) Therefore, \(\frac{-3}{5}-(\frac{-8}{9})\) = \(\frac{-27}{45}-(\frac{-40}{45})\) = \(\frac{-27-(-40)}{45}\) = \(\frac{-27+40}{45}\) = \(\frac{13}{45}\) (iv) We can write, -1 = \(\frac{-1}{1}\) Since the denominators of both the numbers are different therefore, we will take their LCM 0f 1 and 7 =7 \(\frac{-1}{1}= \frac{-1\times7}{1\times7}=\frac{-7}{7}\) And, \(\frac{-9}{7}= \frac{-9\times1}{7\times1}=\frac{-9}{7}\) Therefore, \(-1-(\frac{-9}{7})\) = \(\frac{-7}{7}-(\frac{-9}{7})\) = \(\frac{-7+9}{7}\) = \(\frac{2}{7}\) |
