Final answer:
To subtract the fractions (3/4) - (3/14), find the least common multiple of the denominators, which is 28. Then convert the fractions (3/4) to 21/28 and (3/14) to 6/28. The difference is 15/28.
Step-by-step explanation:
To subtract the fractions (3/4) - (3/14), you need a common denominator. As 4 and 14 are not the same, we’ll find the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 14, which is 28.
First, convert each fraction to have the common denominator:
(3/4) = (3×7)/(4×7) = 21/28(3/14) = (3×2)/(14×2) = 6/28 Now subtract the second fraction from the first:
(21/28) - (6/28) = (21 - 6)/28 = 15/28
The difference of the fractions is 15/28.
