Question

Find the sum. Write your answer in simplest form. 7/10 - 1/4

Answer 1

9/20 or 45%

Explanation:

If we make common denominators (for this example, we will make each denominator 20), this would make 7/10 = 14/20 and 1/4 = 5/20. From there, we subtract the numerators from each other (14-5) and leave the denominators alone. The difference comes out to 9/20 and there is no way to simplify it further, making it the final answer.
