Question

Subtrac 5/18 - 1/4 reduce if possible

Answer 1

(5/18) - (1/4) = (1/36)

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to subtract (1/4) from (5/18)

To do this, we have to first find the Lowest Common Multiple of the denominators. The LCM of 18 and 4 is 36.

So,

(5/18) = (10/36)

(1/4) = (9/36)

`\begin{gathered} (5)/(18)-(1)/(4) \\ =(10)/(36)-(9)/(36) \\ =(10-9)/(36) \\ =(1)/(36) \end{gathered}`

Hope this Helps!!!
