Answer:
3/14
Explanation:
We need to line up the fractions. 5/7 on top, 1/2 on the bottom. We need to find common denominator so, 7 x 2 (denominators) gives us 14. 14 is now the denominator we will use. Solve for numerator: Starting at bottom fraction. 2 goes into 14 7 times, 7 times original numerator (1) 35. Theres your new numerator. Now, the top fraction: 7 goes into 14 2 times. 2 x original numerator (5) = 10. Now subtract both numerators (10 - 7 = 3) Plug in the denominator and your answer is: 3/14
