Question

Compute the difference indicated and simplify your answer. (5)/(13)-(2)/(13)

Answer 1

To compute the difference between (5/13) and (2/13), subtract the numerators to get 3/13.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute the difference between two fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, both fractions have a denominator of 13, so we can subtract the numerators directly. The result is (5/13) - (2/13) = 3/13. This is already simplified, so there is no further simplification needed.
