Question

find the difference write the answer as a fraction in lowest terms using
`(1)/(2) - (1)/(3 ) =`

Answer 1

To substract two fractions we need them to have the same denominator

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)=(3)/(6) \\ (1)/(3)=(2)/(6) \end{gathered}`

Then

`(1)/(2)-(1)/(3)=(3)/(6)-(2)/(6)=(1)/(6)`

Since the fraction is in the lowest term, then the answer is 1/6
