Answer:

The answer would be 1/4. I explained below if you don't get how you get the answer. Good luck!

Explanation:

1. Find the LCM of 4 and 10

4, 8, 12, 16, 20

10, 20

The LCM of 4 and 10 is 20.

2. Divide 4 and 10 by 20.

20 ÷ 4 = 5

20 ÷ 10 = 2

3. Multiply the numbers by the answer you got in step 2.

3 x 5 = 15

5 x 2 = 10

4. Put it together.(example:number you got in step 3/20)

15/20

10/20

5. Subtract

15/20 - 10/20 = 5/20

You get the answer of 5/20 or 1/4. I would write 1/4 though.
