Answer:
7/24
Explanation:
5/8 = 15/24
1/3 = 8/24
15/24-8/24 = 7/24
The question was what fraction of all the songs are jazz. Therefore you need to find the common denominator which is 24. (8x3 =24).
Next you Multiply 5x3 which equals 15 and then you multiply 1x8 which equals 8. (We do this because you need to multiply your numerator by the same number you multiplied your denominator with)
Finally, you subtract 8/24 from 15/24 which equals 7. (15-8=7 [make sure you keep your denominator 24] )
Therefore your answer is 7/24
