Question

What is the difference of 9/5-1/6

Answer 1

The difference is as follows:

`(9)/(5)-(1)/(6)=(49)/(30)`

Explanation:

We are given two fractions and we are asked to find there difference.

The expression is as follows:

`(9)/(5)-(1)/(6)`

( since, the denominator of two fractions is different hence we take the least common multiple of the denominators.

i.e. lcm{5,6}=30 )

Now, we proceed as follows:

`(9)/(5)-(1)/(6)=(9* 6-1* 5)/(30)`

i.e.

`(9)/(5)-(1)/(6)=(54-5)/(30)`

i.e.

`(9)/(5)-(1)/(6)=(49)/(30)`

Answer 2

9/5 = 54/30

1/6 = 5/30

54/30 - 5/30 = 49/30 = 1 19/30
