Answer:


(-11)/(20)

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find the difference of fraction using number line

Given fractions
(1)/(5)-(3)/(4)

First we make their denominator same,

Multiply numerator and denominator of
(1)/(5) by 4 and Multiply numerator and denominator of
(3)/(4) by 5


(4)/(4)* (1)/(5) and
(5)/(5)* (3)/(4)


(4)/(20) and
(15)/(20)

Now, denominator are same so we can subtract easily


=(4)/(20)-(15)/(20)

take L.C.M 20 of above expression,


=(4-15)/(20)


=(-11)/(20)

we can see this in figure-1

It can easily observe from figure that, there is 11 units difference between 4 and 15
