A.32/40
b.24/40
c.3/5
d.1 3/5
e.24/10​

Answer 1

Both answers C & E are correct

Explanation:

`\sf(7)/(10)-(4)/(40)`

First, make the denominator the same to solve the fraction.

For that, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4 in the fraction 7/10.

`\sf(7*4)/(10*4)-(4)/(40)\\\\\sf(28)/(40)-(4)/(40)\\\\\sf(28-4)/(40)\\\\\sf(24)/(40)`

To write the answer in its simplest form divide both the numerator and denominator by 8.

`\sf(3)/(5)`

Therefore, the answer is
`\sf(24)/(40)` =
`\sf(3)/(5)`
