Question

Rewrite each expression as a single fraction 3/8-1/6

Answer 1

The answer to the question

Answer 2

`(5)/(24)`

Explanation:

Given expression,

`(3)/(8)-(1)/(6)`

Since, 8 = 2 × 2 × 2, 6 = 2 × 3

L.C.M. ( 8, 6 ) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24,

`(3)/(8)=(3* 3)/(24)=(9)/(24)`

`(1)/(6)=(1* 4)/(24)=(4)/(24)`

`\implies (3)/(8)-(1)/(6) = (9)/(24) - (4)/(24) = (9-4)/(24)=(5)/(24)`
