Answer:

-53/105

Explanation:

use 420 as the common denominator

30/70 = 180/420

56/60 = 392/420

180/420 - 392/420 = -212/420

Use 4 as the GCF (greatest common factor) to simplify the fraction

-212/420 = -53/105

Answer:


\sf \: ( - 53)/( \: 105)

Explanation:

Given problem,


\sf \rightarrow \: (30)/(70) - (56)/(60)

Let's solve the given problem,


\sf \rightarrow \: (30)/(70) - (56)/(60)


\sf \rightarrow \: ((30) * 6)/((70) * 6) - ((56) * 7)/((60)* 7)


\sf \rightarrow \: (180)/(420) - (392)/(420)


\sf \rightarrow \: ((180 - 392))/(420)


\sf \rightarrow \: ( -212 \: )/( \: 420)


\sf \rightarrow \: ( - 53)/( \: 105)

Hence, the answer is -53/105.
