Question

How to solve improper fraction of 4/5 - 1/4???

Answer 1

11/20

Explanation:

First, you have to find a common denominator between the two fractions, 4 and 5 can both equal 20 so we change the denominators to 20, 4/5 =16/20 since whatever we multiply on the bottom we multiply on the top, now for 1/4 we change it to 5/20. Now for the question, we subtract since that's what it's asking, so 16/20 - 5/20, 16 - 5 equals 11 and the denominators stay the same so the answer would be 11/20
