Subtraction of heterogeneous


\begin{gathered} \boxed{ \sf (3)/(4) - (1)/(8)} = \\ \\ \sf (8 / 4 * 3 - 8 / 8 * 1)/(8) = \\ \\ \sf(6 - 1)/(8) = \\ \\ \sf \boxed{ \sf(5)/(8)} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the result of this subtraction of fractions is five eighths.

How to subtract unlike fractions:

Heterogeneous fractions are fractions that have different denominators.

To subtract heterogeneous fractions we follow these steps:

  • We find the common denominator, which is the least common multiple of the denominators.
  • We divide the common denominator by the other denominator and multiply by the numerator.
  • We will write the above results as numerators with the subtraction sign between them.
  • We subtract the numerators.
  • We simplify the result if possible.

The Alpha.
