Answer:
6/8- 4/8= 2/8 or 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting fractions should have the SAME DENOMINATOR.
- since 3/4 and 1/2 have different denominators, we have to get the LCM of 4 and 2.
4= 4, 8
2= 2, 4, 6, 8
- since both of them have 8, then think of a number that can use to get 8 for the denominator then do the same to the numerator.
3/4 x 2/2= 6/8, do not get the lowest term because the denominator will change again
1/2 x 4/4= 4/8, do not get the lowest term because the denominator will change again
- we have a new equation, it is 6/8- 4/8= 2/8 or 1/4
